Quote of the Week | Today we're inspired by BUC Alum Monika Asmundson (Booth University College BSW '24)

"Heart work for me is really about building relationships with those we walk alongside. Sharing experiences and approaching practice with humility provides a space for healing through kindness and empowerment.”

"My name is Lieutenant Kaitlin Russell, and I am currently the Corps Officer and Community Ministries Officer in Sudbury, Ontario at The Salvation Army Sudbury Community Church and Community Services.

I graduated in February 2020 with a Bachelor of Social Work.

Booth was my saving grace – after a rocky first year of university in Ontario, pursuing a degree in Science, I was looking for something more. I often found myself skimming through Social Work books in the university bookstore, dreaming of what it would look like to be in a profession that helped people.

When I spoke with my pastor at the time about my dreams, they suggested I attend Booth University College in Winnipeg. I took the leap of faith to not only change degrees but also move to another province, and it changed my life." - Kaitlin Russell, Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), 2020
