Join us tonight at the CAEH Networking Reception

The Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness annual conference is occurring in London right now (Wednesday through Friday). As part of the conference we are facilitating a networking reception for faculty, students, and post-docs on Wednesday evening.

With CRHESI as a sponsor for this event, we would like to extend an invitation to any of our members who are interested in the area of homelessness to attend, even if you are not attending the conference.

The reception is tonight, Wednesday, November 2, at 6:30pm-8:30pm, at the beautifully renovated historic London Round House. Free finger foods provided by Blackfriars Cafe. There will also be a cash bar. This is an opportunity to network with other academics and partners, including students, doing work across Canada in this sector.

We look forward to having you join us, and would appreciate an RSVP to aoudsho@uwo.ca as soon as possible.

Making Connections in CRHESI

The Centre for Research on Health Equity and Social Inclusion (CRHESI) is driven by connections with our membership and the community. As such, we are dedicated to meaningful engagement within and across these networks. We believe that the best way to support an environment that is conducive to innovative and influential research is to help facilitate connections that matter.

We want to sit down with you to learn about the specifics of you work and to understand your areas of interest. Meeting with you and other researchers and community partners enables us to find correlations, parallels and complementary overlaps between your work and that of other members.

Here’s a little video to describe our strategy for helping new CRHESI members make meaningful connections within the network:
