Anti-Racism Virtual Summit 2021
Pitt Social Work is pleased to be a sponsor for the Anti-Racism Virtual Summit 2021 March 16-18, co-hosted by SWHELPER and CSWE.
One benefit of sponsoring this event is that we can offer complimentary passes to all Pitt Social Work faculty, staff, and students, and discounted passes for alumni, field agencies, and friends.
Associate Professor Mary Ohmer's article "Youth-Adult Partnerships to Prevent Violence" was published in the Journal of Intergenerational Relationships. Read online.
Mentoring Week is almost here!
During the week of March 15th, each alumni mentor/student mentee pairing will connect and network for one hour during the week. Students get an opportunity to build professional network, practice networking, and a chance to ask alumni about their careers, advice on what students can do now to set themselves up for success after Pitt Social Work. The kickoff party is March 12th. Read more.
