Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.

The Ceremonies and Events Office (C&E) advances Simon Fraser University's strategic vision of engagement by producing and managing key university celebrations and milestone events including convocation and the university's high-profile presidential, institutional, advancement, alumni, ceremonial, government and partner events. Delivering approximately 70 events annually, locally, nationally and internationally, the department also ensures that ceremony and event protocols and traditions are maintained at events.

**About the Role**

The Event Coordinator will be providing event logistics support for a number of high-profile university events, most notably SFU's June and October Convocation ceremonies and accompanying Chancellor's Dinners.

The ideal candidate will have excellent attention to detail, as well as experience coordinating a wide variety of events of various sizes, preferably in a post-secondary environment. In addition to having excellent people skills, this team player will bring great creativity, good humour, and enthusiasm to their role, ensuring that the Ceremonies and Events department maintains their reputation for excellence in university event production.
