A Letter of Intent (LOI) was recently established between the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in British Columbia, Canada, and UIC.

The LOI signed between SFU and UIC hopes to be the first steps in developing stronger cooperation in the future. These activities could include the development of study abroad opportunities, the development of collaborative research programmes or projects, and the exchange of scholarly publications, information, and faculty, staff, or students.

UIC’s motto “In knowledge and in deeds, unto the whole person” and SFU’s vision of ‘The Engaged University’ will pave the way for a fruitful agreement in which knowledge and individual development will work together to promote community and international development.
About Simon Fraser University
With campuses in the three largest cities of British Columbia—Burnaby, Vancouver, and Surrey, SFU has a mission to be the most community-engaged research University in Canada. SFU ranks consistently as one of the top universities in the world and is regarded as the leading comprehensive research university in Canada. By engaging students, research, and communities, SFU seeks to create students that are not only ready for a job post-graduation but are also ready to enter post-graduation life with a community-centred mind and the intention to make a difference locally and globally through knowledge mobilization and the endless pursuit of new ideas.
The Beedie School of Business has received global recognition on many fronts. Not only is it accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), but the Beedie School of Business has also been granted the EQUIS Quality award from the European Federation for Management Development (EFMD). Few business schools worldwide have received these two accreditations in tandem.
