In order to take ground breaking action on diversity, equity, and inclusion, at the School of Social Work, we are committed to filling the gaps for the 10,000 vacant social work positions in North Carolina by contributing to the workforce expansion of equity minded practitioners, advocates, healers, and leaders. I am excited to partner with our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the larger community to envision our big picture and generate bigger ideas to help us advance this priority!
