Canadian Mennonite University received pre-accreditation from the Canadian Association for Social Work Education for a Bachelor of Social Work program that will be launching in September. The accreditation will enable CMU to offer a degree that will allow graduates to practice in any location in Canada. CMU VP Academic Jonathan Dueck and CMU social work department chair Alex Sawatsky explained that the program will recognize the importance of faith, as well as the harms caused by religion. The program will also focus on serving Indigenous people; its creation was guided by elders and leaders from the Indigenous community. “We want to help students think about what reconciliation means,” said Sawatsky.
