Tune in for an inspiring conversation about innovation, inclusivity, and the evolving role of universities in today’s world.

From Joy Johnson:

“When I first began my presidency in September 2020, I wrote a message to the community saying there was no place I’d rather be, and that continues to be true. I think sometimes about my five-year-old self—about how amazed she would be at the experiences I’ve had and the people I’ve worked with at SFU. It is a privilege to serve this community, and one that I don’t take lightly. 

From research and teaching to community engagement, I am so proud of where we’ve been and excited about where we're going. I invite you to come along as we advance an inclusive and sustainable future, together.”
