Community Conversation: Grief for Pets and Wildlife
April 11, 2025 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
We invite you to a community conversation around Grief and Pet Loss.
For the lives that are carving rooms in our hearts, we will explore what human-animal relationships each person holds towards species outside of their own, the significance of this form of love, and how it feels to process their inevitable demise. Various forms of grief will be touched upon. Keep in mind, that this will not be a support group, so it is not required to have endured a direct loss in order to attend.

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.
Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.

Community Conversation: The Ethics of AI
April 18, 2025 - 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET
We invite you to a Community Conversation around the ethics of AI on April 18th from 11am-12pm EST.
As generated by ChatGPT: "AI is rapidly transforming academia, offering tools like predictive analytics and virtual support to enhance services and decision-making. While these technologies can improve efficiency and access, they also raise ethical concerns around bias, privacy, and the role of human connection. This discussion invites us to consider both the potential and the responsibility of using AI in ways that align with social work’s core values."
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community.
About the FormatWith these smaller Community Conversations, our goal is to create a restorative space where we can share experiences and learn from one another. The discussion will be guided by practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
