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.

Alumni Webinar Series | Program Evaluation through an Equity Lens
November 7, 2024 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
Note: This course is available for free to U-M SSW alumni as part of our Alumni Webinar Series, which features invited alumni speakers. Please know that non-alumni participants are welcome to register as well!
“The longer you swim in a culture, the more invisible it becomes”. That is why we’re carving out time together to discuss and apply evaluation and learning approaches that are proactively in service of equity. This interactive workshop will investigate common ways white supremacy shows up in program evaluation. Participants will learn how to take an alternative approach to building strong organizational learning cultures and understanding the impact of their work. We will reflect together on the ethical considerations involved in this approach to evaluation and the impact of embedding an equity lens to organizational learning. -
