You're invited to celebrate UFV's 50th Anniversary

Our remarkable journey from Fraser Valley College to University of the Fraser Valley has been inspired by the community spirit of people like you.

Let's celebrate our past, present, and future together.

UFV 50

 

Fifty years forward  


Fifty years ago, the community came together to create Fraser Valley College — a place and space for everyone to learn and grow.

In the years since, as FVC then University College of the Fraser Valley became the university we know today, a lot has changed. But much has remained constant: our values of inclusivity, integrity, excellence, and, of course, community.

Join us during this special anniversary year as we honour the past, celebrate our present, and co-create the future.

 

 

"As we look to the next 50 years, I invite each of you to join us, as we work together to create a legacy that future generations will be proud of.”

Dr. Joanne MacLean | UFV President & Vice Chancellor
