This course looks at movements, resistance, resilience, and liberation. Community Organizing is one of the most popular areas of specialization to the school of social work. A growing body of evidence reveals that people of color and low-income persons have borne greater environmental and health risks than the society at large in their neighborhood, workplace, and playgrounds. Over the last decade grassroots activists have attempted to change the way governments implement environmental and health laws. Grassroots groups have organized, educated, and empowered themselves to improve the way government regulations and environmental policies are administered.

The Leadership in Community Benefit Organizations Program and Career Services will be hosting a Resume Conversation and Workshop event.

If your resume has been sitting untouched on a (virtual) shelf, get ready to dust it off! We will be discussing ways we can translate experiences into meaningful bullet points that showcase not only what you've done, but why and how it is important. It is never too early to update your resume! Whether you graduate in July, December, or May, we look forward to seeing you there!
Feel free to bring your lunch (and your resume!) and join us for this conversation.
