Did You Know? Dalhousie Sponsors Student Refugees...


Learn more about Dalhousie University's Student Refugee Program.

The World University Service of Canada-Dalhousie has been participating in the Student Refugee Program (which annually brings up to 50 refugee students to study in Canada). Since 1984, we have successfully sponsored over 40 refugee students and allowed them to pursue their studies at Dalhousie University.

On Wednesday, February 13th from 6pm-8pm in the McInnes Room (Student Union Building), WUSC is holding the "From Campus to Campus" speakers night, featuring:

- Yong Deng, this year's sponsored student from Sudan

- Savior Joseph, a former basketball star who spent one year working at a refugee camp in
Ghana

- Dr. Prof MacDonald Ighodaro, author of "Living the Experience:Migration, Exclusion and Anti-Racist Practice."
