As a class, students participated in a project for Rice County Foster Care to create a more “Foster Care Friendly” Rice County. Students prepared a poster display of the results of the community engagement activity and presented the posters during a reception for community stakeholders involved and the Social Work department.
In this course students assess strengths and problems of diverse groups, organizations, and communities and use the systems perspective to help client systems frame goals and plans for social change. Students develop plans for implementing change that are reflective, scientific, just, and grounded in the liberal arts.
