Mission
The mission of the SFU Bookstore Spirit Shop is to enhance the living and learning environment of the University community by providing goods and services in engaging places. SFU Bookstore supports faculty and student learning at Simon Fraser University by ensuring availability and procurement of more than 5,500 faculty requisitioned textbook titles each year. Our ongoing objective is to supply required course materials to SFU students at the lowest possible price, and on their digital device of choice as distribution models evolve. SFU Spirit Shop promotes the University image as well as fosters collegial spirit through the marketing of SFU branded clothing, supplies, gifts and memorabilia. SFU Bookstore Spirit Shop is a self-funded operation that is committed, at all levels, to exemplary customer service quality and innovation. We demonstrate community and global leadership through our sustainability practices and engagement as a Fair-Trade Campus.
Self funded - Full Cost Recovery
As a part of Campus Services, the Bookstore is self-funded, eg. we do not receive any funding from the University in terms of student tuition, grants, or fees to operate the Bookstore. We generate revenue to offset operational expenses incurred in providing these services. We work on a full cost recovery model, and any profit made at the Bookstore goes directly back into funding various student programs (eg. we hire seasonal student cashiers each term), as well as promoting and reinvesting back into the University community.
