Alumni @ Work

Alumni @ Work

We always love the chance to meet with our alumni in their workplaces. Whether you’re a one-person shop or employed by a large organization, we’ll pay you a visit in your work home, take a few photos and catch up over coffee and treats. If you work with other Fanshawe alum, invite them along! The more Fanshawe grads together, the merrier.

Let's plan a visit
