Join us October 14, 12:00 pm ET to learn about student loan forgiveness

Speakers: Betsy Mayotte, The Institute of Student Loan Advisors (TISLA), Joy Silvern, Public Service Promise

Navigating Public Service Loan Forgiveness can be confusing, especially for nonprofit and public service professionals balancing many responsibilities. That's why Public Service Promise and Michigan Law, Marsal Family School of Education, and the School of Social Work are teaming up to break it down in a free, live webinar built for you.

Join us for the first Flourishing in Action event, co-hosted with our ENGAGE Office. The event will feature panelists Justin Hodge, Ayesha Ghazi Edwin, and Victoria Genetin. Together, they will explore the politics of social work and how policy, power, advocacy, and civic engagement shape the profession and the communities social workers and community advocates serve. The panel will create space for dialogue, reflection, and consideration of how you can move from conversation toward informed action.

Undoing Racism is a community collective of students, staff, and faculty in the School of Social Work dedicated to fighting white supremacy at individual, school, and structural levels. This workgroup was established in 2019 after the community took part in the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond Undoing Racism workshops and builds on their anti-racist community organizing model. No matter what role you play here at SSW, you are always welcome to come to Undoing Racism meetings. 

This event will be held virtually over Zoom!
