December 7, 2023 - 12:00pm to 2:00pm

What can you actually do with an MSW degree? If you want to work in public policy or politics, do you need a Masters in Public Policy or a law degree?

The panel will be moderated by ENGAGE staff member and President of the National Association of Social Work Michigan, Fatima Salman, MSW. Food and beverages will be provided. Panelists include Victoria Peebles, Researcher at Mathematica Policy Research; Professor Justin Hodge, UM School of Social Work; Yusef Shakur, Deputy Director of Strategy & Innovations at the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion; and Megan Gunnell, LMSW, founder and director of the Thriving Well Institute.
