FIFSW Alumni Association Distinguished Speaker Series 2026

Event Overlay Social worker

Launched in 2014, the Factor-Inwentash Alumni Association Distinguished Speakers Series was created to bring leading-edge thinkers to the Faculty to explore avant-garde issues.

In celebration of 100 years of Canadian Association of Social Work, this year’s keynote invites social workers to reflect on the profession’s history in Canada and Ontario, including the ways it has both advanced care and contributed to inequities. Join us as we hear from Fred Phelps, Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Social Workers and Ajirioghene Evi, CEO of the Ontario Association of Social Workers.

Please note: non-alum of FIFSW are welcome to attend!
