40 simon FALL 2015 (CAMPBELL) TONIA COWAN www.sfu.ca/publicsquare SFUPublicSquare @SFUPublicSquare e More than a single place or program, SFU Public Square assembles the hearts, minds, and talents of diverse communities to promote inclusive, intelligent, and inspiring dialogue. 1965 2015 R Q Joe Segal, chancel- lor emeritus at SFU, always knew how to think big. First, with his retail empire, which included Fields, Zellers and the Bay, and then at SFU, where he was instru- mental in developing Harbour Centre and the Wosk Centre for Dialogue. His family also donated the heritage building that houses SFU's Segal Graduate School of Business. W Composer, writer, music educator and environmen- talist R. Murray Schafer is best known for his World Soundscape Project, which he established at SFU in 1965 to study the relationship between people and their acoustic environment. His renaissance approach to the arts has infl uenced all of his work, from con- certos to multimedia studies to publications on music education and noise pollution. He's won Juno and Gemini awards, holds a Governor General's Perform- ing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement and is a companion of the Order of Canada.

She later completed her MA in liberal studies at SFU, where she received the Outstanding Alumni Award for Arts and Culture in 1996.
