Social Work Celebrates 20 Years of Community Engagement with Annual Forum

The Department of Social Work will host the 20th Annual Community Forum 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, March 29, Schaeffer Auditorium. We are proud to announce that our keynote speaker will be Dr. Vijayan K. Pillai, professor of Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington, an expert on reproductive rights and author of "Social Development and Abortion Policies in the United States: State-Wise Variations." The event will raise awareness of the need to address reproductive rights and the impact on families in a post-Roe world, creating risks for families and also for social workers and other professional providers who guide and serve women in perinatal health, pregnancy and childbirth. Ethicists have reported that laws related to reproductive health, gender identity and sexual orientation have placed social workers and other human service providers in a complex milieu of potential legal violations. To register, visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CommunityForum2024. We appreciate excusing social work majors from class, as they are required to attend the forum.
