A graduate from our BSW program (and Laurier's MSW) - Emily Hearn - will be hosting a session/dinner with Indigenous students on November 24 - 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm (I'll give a heads up to seminar leaders that some students may be late).  In this session, Emily will talk about their journey through social work education and their career so far.   Dinner will be provided. If you are interested, please fill out this RSVP link.  The room will be sent out in advance of the event to people who have registered (it will be on campus).

Please note, this session is only open to Indigenous students.
