GUESTS

Graduands may invite up to a maximum of 4 guests to attend in-person. Due to limited seating and venue capacity constraints, we cannot accommodate more than four guests per graduand. Tickets are not required.

Convocation Mall will open to guests 1 hour before each ceremony (8:45 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.). 

Guests unable to attend in-person can watch the live broadcast through YouTube on the convocation homepage. Ceremony recordings are available afterwards to watch on demand.

SFU respectfully acknowledges that convocation is hosted on the traditional, unceded and continually occupied territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) peoples. There is a great amount of work to be done towards reconciliation and systemic decolonization within the university. We are committed to educating ourselves and others, respectfully including Indigenous practices, protocols and ceremony into convocation, and continuing to build meaningful relationships with Indigenous peoples across these lands.

June 2024 honorary degree recipients
