西蒙弗雷泽大学
维库，知识与思想的自由文库
西蒙弗雷泽大学（Simon Fraser University，簡稱SFU）坐落於加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省鄰近溫哥華的本那比市內，它一共分為六個科系，分別為：應用科學、人文與社會科學、工商管理、教育、健康科學、及科學。 西蒙弗雷泽是以探索溫哥華地區的探險者西蒙·弗雷泽命名，於1965年成立。 與大多數加拿大大學一樣，SFU是一所公立大學，所經營的費用是由納稅人（56%）和學費（39%）提供。
[编辑] 學府聲譽 SFU曾五次在Maclean's Magazine的年度大學排名榜上被評為加拿大最佳綜合學府(1993年、1996年、1997年、1998年與2000年)，另外亦經常是該雜誌全國性大學評估的首選之一。 從建校開始，SFU就擁有激進的名聲。在最初的幾年內已就教授在校內討論敏感話題與靜坐造成了不穩定。雖然這股風氣已經逐漸減退，但總括來說SFU依然被認為是強烈的左翼校園。 六十年代的學生激進份子更掀起了一場「文化大革命」去提倡加拿大大學管治的民主。1967年5月，SFU成為了加拿大第一所讓學生加入理事會的大學。[1] SFU的激進思想使它創設了創新的與富彈性的課程。舉例說，在1968年SFU成為全加拿大第一所為在職經理增設EMBA課程的學府；SFU在1991年也是加拿大學府中最先提供社會學碩士課程的。 SFU學生的種族成分也跟別的大學有分別，這是受本那比的族群比例與7%國際學生所影響。 [编辑] 人口與校內名人
SFU現時大約有25,000名學生以及3,337名研究生。[2] 該大學於近年來人口有所增長，現時校友人數達到82,307名。另外有715名教職員和1,091名職員在校內工作。除了某些人力資源部和高級行政人員以外，所有SFU職員都隸屬於五個工會組織的其中一個。 SFU的學生會叫作西蒙弗雷泽大学學生會 (SFSS)，所有SFU學生為其會員。它是加拿大聯邦學生的會員之一。 本地與國際知名人士包括奧運選手丹尼尔‧伊加利、攝影師及前總理特魯多的前妻瑪格麗特·對都，以及卑詩省省長簡嘉年、杜新志和現任省長金寶爾。 香港名导谷德昭亦在这所学校毕业。 泰瑞·福克斯曾在SFU人體運動系就讀，也是學校籃球次要代表隊的隊員。他在18歲時被驗出患有骨癌，導致他的右腿被切除。福克斯隨後發起了希望馬拉松以作籌款與及提高人們對癌症的認識。SFU在2001年頒發了一個名譽學位給泰瑞·福克斯基金會的名譽主席，也是福克斯的母親。 [编辑] 著名校友SFU在1967年頒發了一個名譽法學博士學位給馬歇爾·麥可盧恩。 在2004年4月20日，SFU授名譽學位予三名诺贝尔和平奖得主，分別為: 第十四世達賴喇嘛、聖公會前任大主教杜圖，與人權活躍份子希林·伊巴迪。 台灣組合飛輪海成員之一辰亦儒以經濟學土畢業。 在港方面，著名導演谷德昭也是SFU的校友。 此外SFU也有一些著名校友，當中包括滑雪選手、舞蹈家、編舞家、經濟學家與藝術家等。 [编辑] 校園位置及設施
西蒙弗雷泽大学有三個校園︰主校園在本那比、次校園位於溫哥華的下城區海港中心及新西蒙弗雷泽大学素雷校園。它也是溫哥華的大北路校園 的合作伙伴。 卑詩省科技大學，為由 新民主党創立、一所技術性的大學，由卑詩省政府控制，於2002年閉校，部分學生被轉至西蒙弗雷泽大学繼續就讀并成為西蒙弗雷泽大学素雷校園的主流。 主校園面積為1.7 平方公里，位於本納比山上，位於海拔400米。此校園為艾力信和馬西設計的，此後，此校園於1963年一設計比賽得獎。校園建築上是有些異常的，慎防有故事的大廈受傷。圖書館在主要校園以W.A.C.本納德命名，他是建 立人前卑詩省社會大臣。 目前，部分在西大下面的本納比山部分成為公園及保育觀察區。 一些非中文的文字因为尚未翻譯而被隐藏，歡迎參與翻譯。
Apart from SFU and associated industrial/technical research park Discovery Park, there had been little development until recently. In 2003, the university commenced construction on a model, sustainable community on approximately 200 acres adjacent to the campus, atop the mountain. The name is UniverCity. The site will contain up to 4500 residential units in a number of neighbourhoods, along with a new town centre, schools, parks and other amenities. As of January 2006, approximately 585 homes, and The Cornerstone building, which includes restaurants, shops and services are already complete. Another 400 homes are under construction, and the community is beginning to attract international attention for some of its innovative and sustainable features, including the first community transit pass program in Canada, legalized secondary suites providing affordable housing for students and others, an exemplary stormwater management system, and its prohibition on multi-national retailers in the town centre.
此大學拥有一個劇院，考古館及三個藝廊。 西大也和其他大學和經紀行運作其聯合研究設施。這些包括

Long known as an innovative teaching university, SFU has moved toward research excellence. The university has recently created a new faculty of health sciences, invented the world's fastest bipolar transistor, and investigated the impact of technology on the nation's health sector. Scholarly research has been recognized with prestigious awards, including Governor-General's, Grawemeyer, Guggenheim, Manning and Pulitzer awards, Canada Council Killam research fellowships, NSERC industrial chairs, and gold medals from the Science Council of BC. In 2003-04 SFU faculty won $53,574,852 in research grants and contracts, most through open competition outside the province.[3] [编辑] 校園及體育活動學生報山峰( The Peak )為開校後不久創立的校園報，and is widely circulated throughout the Lower Mainland. The school's sports teams are called the Simon Fraser Clan, and the mascot is a 蘇格蘭獵犬. In sports and other competitions, there tends to be a strong rivalry between SFU and The University of British Columbia. SFU's Clan Athletics competes in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and the USA-based National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). SFU has 16 varsity sport teams and 300 athletes. Football, men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball and women's wrestling compete for CIS championships only. Men's and women's soccer, men's golf, women's softball, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's cross-country and men's and women's track and field compete for NAIA championships only. Men's wrestling competes for championships of both organizations. SFU has won the NAIA NACDA Director's Cup five times, as well as other awards. Many SFU athletes have also participated in the Olympics. Medal winners include Daniel Igali (gold, wrestling), Jeff Thue (wrestling, silver), Sue Holloway (canoe, gold), Bob Molle (wrestling, silver), Chris Rinke (wrestling, bronze), Hugh Fisher (canoe, gold), Garry MacDonald (swimming, silver), and Bruce Roberston (swimming, silver & bronze). The university's bagpipe band performs well in international competitions and is one of the university's most famous attractions. It has won most major titles: the World Pipe Band Championship [1995, 1996, 1999, 2001], the World Drum Corps Championship [1999, 2004], the North American Championship [1982, 2002], the 2001 Australian Pipe Band Championship.[4] [编辑] 交通
SFU's main campus' relatively remote location has long posed a transportation problem for its student body. This situation has, however, been significantly improved by the recent expansion of Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system and the introduction of a low-fare university fare card, the U-Pass. There is now a SkyTrain station at the base of the mountain. The downtown Harbour Centre campus is across from the Waterfront SkyTrain station. The SFU Surrey campus is at Central City next to the Surrey Central SkyTrain station. Most Simon Fraser students are commuters who live in the area, but residence housing facilities accommodate 1500 students, with 249 more units planned for completion in 2005. [编辑] 宿舍
