Dalhousie University Recipients
CHELSEA PROVO I reside in the community of Preston and am currently in my first year of a two-year MSW degree. I have always been passionate about pursuing a career to help marginalized populations and those who face racism and discrimination. Growing up in North and East Preston, I have faced a great deal of racism and discrimination within the education system, work, and everyday life. These circumstances have had a profound effect on me and helped shape the person I am becoming. There is a dire need to re-examine and revise curriculums, practices, policies, rules, regulations, and research to enact social change and promote the core values of equity, diversity, and inclusion. People from diverse backgrounds need to be heard to establish the necessary change that creates opportunity within this process. With my social work degree, I hope to pursue my goal of being a clinical social worker, and perhaps become a Veterans Affairs social worker.
