Join us on Wednesday, December 3 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for a virtual information session to learn more about our Black Leadership Initiative (BLI)!  This session will be facilitated by Professor Karen Bullock, Chair of the BLI.

The BLI was designed to support, develop, and prepare MSW-level practitioners to address issues facing the Black community. Here are a few program highlights: 

• The BLI-specific courses center around Afrocentric social work practice and put the Black experience at the forefront of the curriculum.
• Space in the program is limited to 20 student fellows each year, allowing students to take many classes with their cohort. 
• Students who participate in the Black Leadership Initiative are placed in a field assignment specially arranged to support Black communities while engaging students in meaningful leadership development opportunities. 
• Monthly meetings introduce BLI fellows to professional networks comprised of social work practitioners, community leaders and scholars.
