My Inclusion Coordinator Journey

The story of how my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) path intersects with the Inclusion Coordinator role was dramatic. During our BSW placement fair, I paid no attention to Renison’s booth, thinking it was the school’s display for the BSW program. A while after, out of my expectations, I was contacted by Renison for an interview (it turned out that my placement manager passed my resume to the Student Experience and Housing team). With some uncertainty and confusion, I attended the interview. From there, I understood how the Inclusion Coordinator role could be connected to my social work placement.

Renison values collaboration and diverse perspectives. The college intentionally recruited two placement students who could bring meaningful change and connection through their lived experiences and skill sets. I am incredibly grateful to work alongside my classmate and colleague, Summer Wu. Together, we’ve accomplished a great deal and learned so much from one another.
