St. Mary's Student Refugee Program:
In some developing countries, getting an education can be dangerous. Since 1978, WUSC’s Student Refugee Program (SRP) has enabled more than 900 capable young men and women to resettle in Canada as permanent residents, pursue their education in an environment free of violence and fear, and transform their lives.
Since 1983 the Saint Mary’s WUSC Local Committee has sponsored 23 student refugees. This event has been created to support this program on our campus and will go to costs that the sponsored student coming to Saint Mary's in the 2009-2010 academic year will incur as they prepare to resettle in Halifax.
