Great to see 225+ faculty, staff, and students from Arizona State University School of Social Work at our talk yesterday about recent federal changes and their potential impacts on social work education, social work research, and social work practice. Social workers are paying attention.
Photo of title of the talk - "recent federal government changes and their impacts on social work."
