Please note a change in the "Hip Hop for Social Justice" times and that two courses have been canceled ("Engaged Buddhism" and "Religion, Nationalism, Human Rights").

Because the Interfaith Summer Institute has included numerous options to make the program accessible, SFU is unable to process credit card registration for the Institute. We are therefore requesting that you mail your registration form with a cheque or money order to the address on the form. Thank you for your understanding.

To register, please download and complete the registration form and mail it to:

INTERFAITH SUMMER INSTITUTE
c/o Institute of Humanities Simon Fraser University 8888 University Drive Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6 Canada

or fax it to 604-291-4504.

Cheques should be mailed to the address above. Your confirmation will be sent to you online.
