SAFE Program partnership expanded with the opening of the new SFU Surrey Counselling Centre
SFU's partnership with the Surrey Anti-Gang Family Empowerment (SAFE) Program was expanded with the launch of a new counselling centre on the Surrey campus. The newly designed location enables the dedicated staff, faculty, and students to reach even more lives through accessible, free, and clinically sound mental health care. In October, Richard Tatomir, who serves as a SAFE Clinical Professor, Counselling Psychology, attended an event that included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino to further discuss holistic solutions to gang violence and crime.

Dr. Milton McClaren named to Order of Canada for innovation in environmental education
Dr. Milton McClaren, Emeritus Professor, was named to the Order of Canada—one of Canada’s highest civilian honours —for his pioneering work in the field of environmental education. During his 51 years at the university, McClaren helped develop a state-of-the-art information computer messaging system in a time before the internet. In addition, he developed environmental education programming for field schools around the world.
