Dearest UW SSW Students, Staff & Faculty,

Amidst the joys and challenges of your studies, along with those of our nation and world, may we each take a moment to note we again have the opportunity to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.   We are now seeking nominations for the 2020 Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Volunteer Recognition Award for the School of Social Work.  Our question to you: Who among us should be noted for how their work continues the legacy of Dr. King?  Won’t you take a moment to nominate that person or program?

With our Health Sciences Center colleagues, we will recognize awardees at this two-part commemoration that honors individuals or groups who exemplify this national holiday’s principles through their:

• Commitment to addressing community needs, particularly communities of color and those who are marginalized
• Development and implementation of significant programs to improve the human condition
• Outstanding efforts to protect and empower all people.

Please nominate a UW school of social work student, staff, faculty member or group!
