Simon Fraser University ( commonly referred to as SFU ) is a Canadian public research university in British Columbia with its main campus on Burnaby Mountain in Burnaby, and satellite campuses in Vancouver and Surrey.

The university was named after Simon Fraser, a North West Company fur trader and explorer.

In 2007, Simon Fraser University was the first and remains the only university to be awarded the Prix du XXe siècle from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada recognizing the " enduring excellence of nationally significant architecture ".

Simon Fraser University was founded upon the recommendation of a 1958 report entitled Higher Education in British Columbia and a Plan for the Future, by Dr. J. B. Macdonald, who recommended the creation of a new university in the Lower Mainland.

Once completed, the transition will move all 19 Simon Fraser Clan teams into the NCAA.

The Higher Education Strategy Associates ranked Simon Fraser University 6th nationally in Science and Engineering and 10th nationally in Social Sciences and Humanities.

SFU's student union is known as the Simon Fraser Student Society ( SFSS ), which includes undergraduates who study at SFU.

There are eight faculties at Simon Fraser University:

Simon Fraser University has three campuses, each located in different parts of Greater Vancouver.

UniverCity is an urban community located on top of Burnaby Mountain, adjacent to Simon Fraser University.

Development of the community began in early 2000, when Simon Fraser University commenced construction on a new residential and commercial area occupying approximately adjacent to the campus.

The Simon Fraser Student Society provides funding for over 100 campus clubs.

The university's varsity sports teams are called the Simon Fraser Clan, and the mascot is a Scottish Terrier named McFogg the Dog.

There are also teams at Simon Fraser University that compete against other university teams at the varsity level.

* April 9 – Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, Scottish clan chief ( b. c. 1667 )

He was the son of Brigadier General Archibald Stirling, of Keir and Margaret Fraser, daughter of Simon Fraser, the Lord Lovat, ( a descendant of Charles II, King of Scots ).

His cousin was Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat, and his grandparents were Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, 9th Baronet and Lady Anna Maria Leslie-Melville.

In 1746 he painted actor David Garrick as Richard III, for which he was paid £ 200, “ which was more ,” he wrote, “ than any English artist ever received for a single portrait .” In the same year a sketch of Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, afterwards beheaded on Tower Hill, had an exceptional success.

The board was initially made up of eight forestry commissioners and was chaired by Simon Fraser, 14th Lord Lovat from 1919 to 1927.

Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat ( c. 1667 – 9 April 1747, London ), was a Scottish Jacobite and Chief of Clan Fraser, who was famous for his violent feuding and his changes of allegiance.

The barony of Lovat dates from about 1460, in the person of Hugh Fraser, a descendant of Simon Fraser ( killed at Halidon Hill in 1333 ) who acquired the tower and fort of Lovat near Beauly, Inverness-shire, and from whom the clan Fraser was called Macshimi ( sons of Simon ).

Among other outrages in which Simon Fraser was engaged about this time was a rape and forced marriage committed on the widow of the 10th Lord Lovat with the view apparently of securing his own succession to the estates ; and it is a curious instance of influence that, after being subjected by him to horrible ill-usage, she is said to have become seriously attached to him.
