Liberation at Work
June 19, 2019 - 9:00am to 3:00pm
Come join us as we celebrate Juneteenth! The purpose of this event is to celebrate the independence of folks from the African Diaspora and the current liberation that includes graduate education at a public university and working as a professional.
As a result of this event, students will be able to: describe the history of Juneteenth, identify three professional roles that Black professional Social Workers hold, identify two strategies to utilize when seeking a position, and provide two definitions of professionalism.
Refreshments will be served.
