Community Dialogues – Linking Social Work and Policy Practice

Join us for a an online forum to discuss policy advocacy projects organized by MSW students in the Social Justice & Diversity Field of Study. This event will follow a World Café format where attendees will be invited to join mini-workshops (in zoom breakout rooms) led by MSW students on one of the topics below.
