The Solar Eclipse is happening today! ☀️🌚
Stay safe by wearing eclipse glasses that allow you to watch the entire eclipse process! Without glasses, only look during the brief period when the moon is blocking the entire sun, but once you see any light look away or put your glasses back on! Do not use regular sunglasses or look through a camera to watch the eclipse, as this will result in serious eye injuries.
Stay safe and have fun!😎

Submit your design to our button design contest! We know that Social Work students have limited time and capacity, and that money is tight with the cost of living right now, so we want to help you out. The three best designs will be awarded a $50 gift card to a store of their choosing. Designs should fit on a 1 inch button and be social work and/or social justice related. These buttons will be distributed at our future events and to social work students! Please submit your designs using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdsWM0d0DLD1ZRYwxYADhV_fS1_YY4Cgyxom1VZ3-swH4LY4g/viewform
