Community Conversation on Burnout
March 12, 2021 - 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM ET
We invite you to a community conversation about feelings of burnout within the MSW program. We have heard from some students that they are experiencing higher levels of stress and feelings of burnout. This is a time for conversation - ask questions, 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 FormatA few students and faculty have decided to try something different - smaller community conversations. Our hope is that this can take topics that lend themselves better to verbal dialogue off of email and into a face-to-face (or screen-to-screen!) environment. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice
Zoom link will be sent out the day of the event. Please RSVP below to receive the link:

Undoing Racism Community Meeting
March 18, 2021 - 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
Join us for our March meeting to build community collaboration and continue the conversation about anti-racist practice and actions.
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. Our work has been largely focused on building collective community and emphasizes the role that white members of our community must take on to dismantle and undo white supremacist structures.
We know there are many important efforts going on at SSW; Undoing Racism will amplify all these efforts, including the advocacy sparked by MSW and Doctoral students. No matter what role you play here at SSW, you are always welcome and encouraged to come to Undoing Racism meetings.

Building Bridges in a Divided World: The Role of Interfaith Collaboration in Justice Work
March 18, 2021 - 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM ET
Join the Jewish Communal Leadership Program (JCLP) for a panel discussion about the transformative potential of interfaith work.
In the wake of a year shaped by a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, extreme political polarization, and more, so many in and outside the Jewish community are facing personal crises and family tragedies. Through it all, we have seen communities respond to those in need by forming and expanding mutual aid networks, advocating for comprehensive safety protocols and transparency, highlighting inequalities, and finding ways to stay connected in the midst of so much physical isolation. Faith-based and interfaith organizations have been uniquely positioned to offer support in this time.
We are so excited to explore this subject with five distinguished interfaith professionals:
Aziza Hazan
Executive Director of NewGround: A Muslim Jewish Partnership for ChangeReverend Amanda Henderson
Director of the Institute of Religion, Politics & Culture at the Iliff School of Theology, Former Executive Director of the Interfaith Alliance of ColoradoPastor Aramis Hinds
Executive Director of the Bethel Community Transformation Center and lead pastor at Breakers Covenant Church in DetroitRabbi Andrea London
Rabbi at Beth Emet in Chicago, Former Co-Chair of JCUA's Jewish-Muslim Community Building Initiative Advisory CommitteeRabbi Samuel L. Spector
