JAN 2024 SSU ALUMNI NEWS - "SSU AFTER SSU"

Uniquely, Shawna was a graduate from SSU’s in-residence undergraduate program (2000) and the M.A. program (2022) which included some courses from the JFI. You are welcome to engage here with her ideas about “community” and we invite you to interact with the questions she poses in the comment section of the blog.
