School of Social Work Events Calendar

April 23, 2024 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm

Want to know what your colleagues are working on? 

Want to help them refine their research ideas?

Want to be more engaged and help build community?

Come to the Half-Baked Brown Bag lunch series. 

The associate dean for research is hosting a series for faculty and doctoral students to share their early stage ideas with peers for feedback. Come and contribute to a lively discussion that will benefit the research happening here at the School – it may even help shape how you think about your own work. 

The format will include a brief presentation from faculty members or doctoral students about their research. Each presentation will be approximately 15 minutes, followed by a 20-30 minute discussion. There will be two participants for each event.

To keep the discussions more cozy, space is limited to 20 attendees. Pizza and drinks are provided.

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.
