SFU Alumni

As we get ready to celebrate this year’s grads, you may notice that Convocation Mall now proudly displays the flags of the four Host Nations in which SFU’s Burnaby campus resides -- kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil Waututh).

Displaying Host Nation flags represents SFU’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and creating meaningful partnerships with Indigenous communities.
