UFV 50
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
