TechBC: The Geek is Still Chic

TechBC: The Geek is Still Chic

Panel discussion on the legacy of TechBC and how it laid the foundation for SFU in Surrey, held at SFU Surrey on May 19, 2022.

The Technical University of British Columbia (TechBC), a start-up university located in what was then Surrey Place Mall, began offering classes in 1999. At the time, some described it as the ‘MIT of the North,’ due to its use of technology in teaching and learning. The BC Liberal government closed TechBC in 2002 and its programs and staff were transferred to SFU.

On the occasion of SFU Surrey’s 20th anniversary, former members of the TechBC community reflect on TechBC’s achievements and legacy, and discuss the impact it had on SFU and on their own careers.

Panelists: Tammy Mooney, Thecla Schiphorst, Tim Rahilly, Jason Toal.

Moderator: Holly Hendrigan, SFU Library / TechBC Memory Project.

Opening Remarks: Steve Dooley, Executive Director - SFU Surrey.

Posters and associated records

Sub-series consists of physical and born-digital posters created and distributed by Adbusters Media Foundation. Born-digital records also include graphic design mockups and drafts associated with the creation of posters. While there is some overlap, print posters and born-digital records in this sub-series do not necessarily correlate.

Digital photographs

Sub-series consists of digital photographs taken by SFU photographers working in University Communications and Marketing and its predecessors from 2000 to 2020. This sub-series is the successor to F-61-1-4, the analog photographs (contact sheets and negatives) created by the department prior to the switch to digital photography.

The images in the sub-series were the work of SFU photographers Greg Ehlers and Dale Northey. The records have not yet been processed. Consult the reference archivist for information about access to this material.
