Meet The Team
The Provost and VPA team provides vision and leadership to academic activities. We serve a large and diverse audience across SFU, and our team is equally diverse and spread out across all three campuses.
In SFU's first years, all Faculty deans and senior administrators reported directly to the President. Planning for the establishment of a Vice-President's Office to oversee academic matters began in the late 1960s.
The Office was formally established on September 1, 1970.
