However, the migration of public decision-making responsibility away from elected representatives and toward new governance models may alter accountability relationships. As authority is dispersed horizontally to new governance actors that exist beyond the reach of the ballot box, questions of public input and accountability within the democratic governance process arise.

  • Lifelong Learning 2010/2011 HIGHLIGHTS Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends
    Lifelong Learning 2010/2011 HIGHLIGHTS Dear colleagues, partners, and friends, I am delighted to share with you a summary of our key initiatives between April 2010 and March A year of growth 2011. The year marked a significant milestone for Continuing Studies and the beginning of SFU Lifelong Learning. for SFU Lifelong Learning Forty years of community service In early 2011, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of SFU Continuing Studies, which the university created to offer programming at “times other than the usual times, in places other than the usual places, and in ways other than the normal ways.” Today, as a much larger unit with an expanded mandate, we continue to serve the university community as well as individuals, groups, and organizations across Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and the world. Opportunities for non-traditional students For the past four decades, we have improved access to education among those who face barriers: Aboriginal people, immigrants, marginalized communities, and seniors with mobility issues. We plan to continue this important mission in the decades to come. Improving students’ learning experiences Adding the Teaching and Learning Centre to our unit and creating SFU Lifelong Learning marked a new phase in the university’s commitment to deliver meaningful and effective learning experiences to SFU students. We look forward to contributing to this commitment through close collaboration with SFU faculty and staff. Strengthening our community partnerships Much of our work in 2010/2011 went beyond SFU campuses. We partnered with local public sector organizations, businesses, community groups, professional associations, and other universities to deliver courses, programs, workshops, public lectures, and other learning opportunities that met their needs.
