Calling all photographers!

Attention everyone interested in taking photos for The Tartan! As we wait on our writers to submit their pieces in the next couple of weeks, we wanted to give you a chance to start contributing to the magazine too.

For the inside and back covers we want SFU photographers to recreate some fun photos from SFU’s early years and put them into any modern context they want. Included below are a bunch of photos from 1966-67 that we’d like to see you reshoot in 2015. Find the location, or an equivalent location, and show how these moments in time would play out today! Let’s see how much (or how little) things have changed.

Here are a few examples we shot today…


The fountain in the mall isn’t quite what it used to be.


Cramming for exams has changed a bit, and at the same time hasn’t changed a bit.


Freedom Square doesn’t quite draw the crowd it once did.

Get the idea? Here are some old photos you can recreate. We’ll be sending out more in the coming weeks but these should get you started. Be as creative as you can and have fun with this!

Alright, have at it! Photo submissions are to be sent to [email protected] by Thursday, July 23, 2015.

Can’t wait to see what you all send in!

By: Dani Carmack, News Writer On September 29, SFU hosted an open forum for SFU community members to provide feedback in the search for SFU’s next president and vice-chancellor.  The forum was a hybrid event, and was hosted in the Diamond Family Auditorium. Whether they attended in-person or over Zoom, members of the greater SFU community — including students, faculty, and staff — were able to share the characteristics and type of background that were important to them for SFU’s next president and vice-chancellor. The event page asked attendees to “carefully review the leadership qualities ahead of time in preparation for a fulsome discussion,” which were linked in the event page.  In late June, president Joy Johnson shared in a message to the community that she has...
