Is pursuing a path in academia right for you? What will the world look like for the next generation, considering the impact of climate change? And how are these questions related? In our first official episode, join Cassandra, Katy, and Becca and get introduced to what “Room 180” means to our alumni. Delve into the questions above as we discuss not only how to improve the lives of animals through academia, but also how animal welfare and academia as a whole may evolve in the future.

We would like to acknowledge that the Animal Welfare Program (AWP) aims to improve the lives of animals through research, education, and outreach. Students, faculty, and visitors in the AWP come from all around the world. We recognize that many members of the AWP are settlers in “Canada”. We acknowledge that we regularly gather, reside, work, and interact with animals on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) and Stó:lō Nations.
