More than 1,750 graduands from across eight faculties will walk the hallowed steps across the SFU pond and down into Convocation Mall for the presentation of graduates. In doing so, they will join SFU’s thriving network of more than 200,000 alumni across the globe. The ceremonies, held today and tomorrow, are also the first under the auspices of SFU’s new chancellor, Elio Luongo, who was appointed to the role in June.
