Benedict College Social Work Department

Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 11th. You are invited to attend our upcoming event in honor of Social Work Month. This virtual event features dynamic presenters and 5 hours of CEUs are available. Our theme for the conference is "Covid-19, Social Work, and African Americans." Register today at https://www.benedict.edu/social-work-continuing-education-conference-registration/

Just a quick post to remind everyone to stay safe during these unprecedented times. Just because we've bent the curve that doesn't mean that social distancing recommendations should be ignored. We will win, but this battle isn't over yet. Stay vigilant, be safe, and be blessed.

Long time, no posts??? Social media takes a backseat to social change. Stay tuned, as many posts are on the way that highlight the work we've done this academic year. Thank you for being a part of our village.

We develop leaders who will serve communities all over the world. Check out the great things that one of our rising Seniors, Breanna Griffin, has been up to lately.
