Curtis Center Art for Equity Contest: How can you use art to express the idea of meeting people where they are to promote health equity?
April 11, 2025 - 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM ET
In partnership with Michigan Medicine for Health Equity Month, the School of Social Work Curtis Center for Health Equity Intervention Research, Training, & Innovation is hosting a creative Art for Equity Contest for undergraduate students to showcase what health equity means to them. The goal of the contest is to engage undergraduate students across the University of Michigan in thinking about health equity in a meaningful and creative way. The Curtis Center Art for Equity Contest will educate and increase engagement with health equity, but also highlight how individuals define it in their own context.
February 20th: We will hold an informational webinar on February 20th, 2025, to introduce the contest, explain the submission process and criteria, and serve as a Q & A session. A video recording of this session will be available in this folder, which contains resources and information for contestants.
March 28th: Undergraduate students are invited to submit a piece of art in the medium of their choice (video, poem, audio, photo book, painting, graphics, comic, etc.) that showcases the idea of meeting people where they are to promote health equity. Submissions will be accepted from both individuals and pairs, by March 28th, 2025. Along with their submission, students will be asked to provide a brief explanation of their piece and how it represents what health equity means to them.
April 11th: At the Health Equity Month hybrid event on Friday, April 11th, 2025, from 12:30 - 1:30 pm the Director of the Curtis Center will define health equity in the context of Curtis Center research and training, as well as announce the top 3 winners! $500 cash prizes will also be rewarded to the top 3 submissions. Registration is due by 9:00 am on Friday April 4th, 2025, for in-person attendance at this event. (There is no registration deadline for virtual attendance.)

Where Do I Start? Grant Writing for Beginners
April 11, 2025 - 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET
Non-profits should engage in a diverse funding model. Grants often are a part of a diversified strategy. That said, many non-profits do not have the resources for a dedicated grant writer, therefore these responsibilities fall within other roles. This presentation allows social workers to begin to understand what type of grant funding is available and to learn the first steps required to initiate an application.
