Welcome to an anniversary afternoon with the social work programme
Welcome to an inspiring afternoon together with the social work programme at Mid Sweden University! On this anniversary day, we look both backwards and forwards – at the people, meetings and ideas that have shaped the education and continue to drive it forward.
On 15 December, 13-15-17.00 in room F214 Campus Östersund (entrance from the square), we invite you to an afternoon of interesting conversations and lectures within the framework of Mid Sweden University's 20th anniversary. Students and staff at Mid Sweden University, partners and the general public are warmly welcome to celebrate the day with us.
