The Boston College School of Social Work invites you to the annual Equity, Justice, and Inclusion Lecture and Distinguished Alumni Awards Celebration.
This year’s event will feature a keynote by Beth Chandler, the president and CEO of YW Boston, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing equity for the past 150 years. Her talk, Weathering the Storm: Staying True to DEI Values, will focus on YW Boston’s commitment to helping organizations achieve more inclusive environments where everyone—especially women and people of color—can succeed. After the keynote lecture, we will honor the recipients of the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Awards, which recognize BCSSW MSW or PhD alumni who have made significant contributions to the social work profession. Two awards are given each year, one to a recent graduate (5-10 years) and the other to an alumnus/a 10+ years from graduation.
1 CEU credit will be offered to real-time attendees for the EJI lecture portion of this event.
