Student Section of MCFR

It is time for our fall social event and this time we are mixing things up:

We are hosting our event on October 17th, 2008 at the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation in St. Paul.

Kristin Dillon is a board member of MCFR, a committee member of the Student Section, and one of the speakers who will be sharing about her new professional role at Wilder Foundation. Kristin is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota.

Sara Lassig received her Ph.D. in May 2008 from the same department and will be speaking about her new professional role at the VA Medical Center.

Come to Wilder from 4:30 – 6:30pm and enjoy some refreshments, great conversation with students and professionals, and learn about two distinct careers within the family field.

There is no need to RSVP, but if you have any questions please contact Heather Cline at cline048@umn.edu

See you on October 17th!
