Posted on behalf of Social Workers for Environmental Justice Student Group

——————————————————————————————————————-

Greetings all!

I am excited to announce that the Social Workers for Environmental Justice group will be re-launching this quarter and our first meeting will be Wednesday January 26th from 5:15-6:15 pm through Zoom.

For our first meeting, our focus will be on sharing ideas about where we would like to take the group, topics and projects people are interested in, and figuring out our meeting schedule going forward.  Our goal is to be responsive to the interests of all participants and find the best mix of learning and action in the community.

Environmental Justice is a topic that touches on all aspects of social work, so we welcome everyone no matter their particular interest, background, or future professional goals.  Join us as we find new ways to integrate this expansive and important topic more fully into our social justice mission!

If you have any questions or would like to be added to the contact list for future meetings, please reach out to Ryan Driscoll (driscr@uw.edu) or Arden Hellmann (ardenh@uw.edu).

Time: Jan 26, 2022 05:15 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

On behalf of the Christian Social Workers Student Group

——————————————–

Greetings all Social Work Students!

We are re-activating the SSW student affinity group called “Christian Social Workers.”

All are welcome! If you might be interested in more information, we’ll be setting up a short zoom organizational meeting for some time next week. So that we can do a doodle poll to find the best time to meet and then send you a zoom link, please email your name to Joel2021@uw.edu if you want more information.

Below is the description of what the former group was about, and we can discuss if we want to make any changes to it:

 

“Christian Social Workers
The Christian Social Workers Club is a diverse group of students interested in discussing how the work of Jesus and the study and practice of Social Work intersect. We seek to encourage one another in our faith and welcome all individuals interested in exploring the role of faith in social justice work. We meet bi-monthly and have times of encouragement, discussion, meals and guest lectures which work to build Christian community in the School of Social Work and in our daily lives.”

Please join ARWAG this quarter in a series of explorative and supportive virtual get-togethers that will be helpful in illuminating issues of race, racism, white privilege, white fragility and our roles in racial justice.

Who are we?
