March 25, 2010
Save the Date: GSSW Alumni Event

The Annual GSSW Alumni Event will be held Thursday, March 25th at the Yawkey Center. This year's event will be a little different than in year's past. Instead of an Alumni dinner we will be presenting a lecture by visiting scholar Maryanne Loughry Ph.D., Associate Director, Jesuit Refugee Service Australia on the topic of: "Refugees-Who is on the move?"  An expose of the people moving in our global world-their stories and the problems they encounter.

The lecture will be followed by a presentation of our Distinguished Alum Award and a reception.

Watch for more event details and registration info to follow.
