The Journey to Becoming a Supportive Adult for Students Who Have Experienced Foster Care and Homelessness
November 1, 2024 - 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM ET
Nationally, 2% of youth who have experienced foster care graduate with a bachelor’s degree despite 80% reporting they have aspirations to attend college. Further, over 60,000 people identify as homeless on the FAFSA each year but are also underrepresented at graduation. Facilitators will share the unique needs of this student population and how family privilege impacts success in college. Participants will learn strategies for being a supportive adult and how to positively impact the campus culture for students from foster care or homelessness.
Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.

The Office of Global Activities is thrilled to announce that we are hosting a 2024 Global Lens Reflective Photo Exhibition and submissions are now open! The OGA is looking for photographs that are high quality, follow ethical practices, and tell a story about an international experience. This is an event that will ignite your imagination and leave you inspired!
Members of the SSW community are invited to submit a photo that captures an experience that took place in a different country between September 2023 - October 2024. Participants are also welcome to submit a photo of an experience in the U.S. as your international experience if you call a different country home (i.e. international students, visiting scholars, etc.). This opportunity is open to all SSW students, staff, and faculty.
Photos that meet the exhibition guidelines will be printed and displayed in the School of Social Work on the first floor windows (across from the Office of Student Services) from November 18-27, as a part of International Education Week.
All entries for the SSW Global Lens Exhibition must be submitted no later than Sunday, November 10 at 11:59 PM EST.
