Our Alumni — Sharing their stories

Our Alumni are the backbone, our community ambassadors, our successes, of The School of Social Work (SSW) at Carleton University.

SSW graduates are pushing at the frontiers of social work in Canada and beyond. We invite you to read some examples to share our alumni stories with you in the hope they might assist in imagining the type of social work you can do in the future.

Expertise in Social Work is a highly desirable and sought after profession in our rapidly changing world. Read and explore what some of our Alumni have to say.
