We are grateful to Dr. Angelo McClain, CEO Of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), for sharing his time and energy with our students as he offers words of encouragement and reminds them of the power of enthusiasm and passion in advocacy! #PolicyUp4SW

We join #UASSW Dean Dr. Schnavia Hatcher in welcoming Dr. Mildred Joyner, President of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) as she shares final words of encouragement and reminds our students that wherever they go, they are always, #SocialWorkers first! #PolicyUp4SW

Our #UASSW students are working hard to prepare their advocacy pitches and drawing on the support and knowledge of our School’s faculty and staff before meeting with their representatives!

Our final policy expert is Christine Raino, Senior Public Policy Director of Shared Hope International! Her shared expertise is helping empower our students to fight unjust sentencing and to advocate for survivors of sex trafficking with H.R. 2858 and H.R. 5051. #PolicyUp4SW
