 About SFPIRG The SFPIRG Public Interest Research Group, aka SFPIRG, is a
student-funded and student-directed resource centre dedicated to
environmental and social justice. PIRG's were established across North
American campuses in the 1970's and 80's as a way for students to advocate
for change.

SFPIRG was set-up by students on SFU's Burnaby campus in 1981 - we're
currently celebrating our 30th birthday!

Our mission is to work towards a just and sustainable world. Areas of work
include education, action, research and community.

Come find us in *TC326 in the Rotunda* or drop us a line to get involved!
