We invite you to a Community Conversation around Processing the Violence in the Middle East on Friday, October 20, from 1-2 PM ET.

The violence in the Middle East has left many of us with sorrow, fear, and other profound feelings.  Community Conversations provide a space for our school community to come together to discuss painful and complex topics taking place in our world - and sometimes, to just gather together in grief. In this light, we invite you to a community conversation about the recent attacks and the complicated devastation that continues in the region.

This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear!  If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)

About the format. With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.

Join us for an information session on everything you need to know about pursuing a Global Independent Study (GIS) for Spring/Summer 2024! Whether you have already decided to apply for a GIS, or you're just hearing about it now, this information session is for you!

Through a Global Independent Study, incoming MSW students can receive grant funding to design and implement a social work project involving international travel. Students from all pathways and curriculum tracks are eligible to apply and will receive 1-3 elective credits upon successful completion of their project. Grant recipients will receive up to $2,500 to help offset the cost of their GIS experience. 

This info session will provide an overview of the grant, explain the application process, and review travel considerations. We will also have a panel of returned Global Independent Study students share their GIS experiences from this summer, followed by Q&A.

October 26, 2023 - 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET

Our shared commitment to social work is fueled by a deep passion for social justice. However, we often find ourselves facing challenges when our strong perspectives clash. Although our classes equip us with skills to put aside our differences for the benefit of our clients and communities, an important question remains: How do we address differences with our colleagues?

Let us come together in a community conversation to explore our challenges and discuss ways to embrace our individual perspectives while maintaining a firm commitment to respect and integrity. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear!  If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
