OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | STREAMED LIVE ON FACEBOOK*
The disproportionate toll of COVID-19 on communities of color has highlighted the long-standing systemic inequities that impact the health and well-being of our nation’s racial and ethnic minority populations.

They will talk about their experience as CSWE Master’s Minority Fellows, why they think centering BIPOC groups is so important for the social work field, and how they plan to integrate what they’re learning into their social work careers.
