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.

Community Conversation: Post Election Reflections & Finding our Path Forward
November 6, 2024 - 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET
The election is just around the corner! We may or may not know the outcome by the day after the election, but no matter where things stand, we anticipate that people may want to come together to talk.
Election results can bring out a full range of emotions. We invite participants to share their feelings and experiences while fostering empathy and understanding. We’ll also explore how we can move forward, and find healing and common ground in our professions and communities, no matter the outcome. This is a time for open dialogue – to express feelings, raise concerns, and find support as a 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.
We look forward to seeing you there! -
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.Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.
