Cedar Crest College Social Work Friends

Dear Colleagues,

HELP A SISTER!
Share employment opportunities!

I hope you are well and staying safe.

This post is on behalf of a colleague who is an international student and recently completed her MSW. She is currently looking for a job under the US OPT visa program which means, if she does not get a job within a period of time, she has to leave the country.

Your help would be appreciated.

In Solidarity,

Self-Care During the Coronavirus Pandemic Social workers need to practice self-care in order to stay healthy while responding to the coronavirus pandemic.

Fellow Social Workers,

By our training, we are first responders and I know many of you are currently in the frontline fighting this major pandemic.

It can be overwhelming and you don’t have much time for self care. Let’s all reach out to one another because we all need support. We are together in this battle and we will win!

In Solidarity,

Nick
