Thank you to our community partner friends at Central Church of Christ for a most generous donation of food for the social work snack/lunch closet. The social work faculty provide food for the students to grab and go as needed because it’s hard to concentrate in class when hungry if you rushed to class without breakfast, you are dealing with food insecurity at home, or just need an afternoon snack to keep you going. Taking care of our students is part of helping them achieve their goals and we appreciate this donation that will benefit students this academic year.

A busy day for the social work sophomores: Bingo with our senior friends and Christmas donation preparations-and we haven’t had our Halloween fun yet! The planning begins early as the midterm passes us by leaving only a few weeks left in the semester to be of service in the community.

It was the perfect day to head outside to take advantage of campus outdoor classroom space and Ms. Martin’s social work practice class did just that. Sometimes a change of place makes learning more fun, if not a little easier! Come join us outside to learn and make your career goals a reality. Dalton State

Students and alumni were on hand as we helped bring the first Navigating Your Housing Options event sponsored by the Dalton/Whitfield County Family Connection and Well Housed Dalton to the community. Dalton Public Schools and Whitfield County Schools Social Workers and community partners coordinated this educational evening designed to help residents learn how to best approach the challenges of finding and securing affordable housing. Thank you to First Baptist Dalton for hosting the event and providing a meal for everyone as community partners came together to work on solutions to the issues facing our community. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the greater community as the professional code of ethics requires of all social workers, and are proud of our students and their commitment to service learning and excellence.

One of our ongoing initiatives in the BSW program is working on the Grand Challenge for Social Work to Eradicate Social Isolation. Isolation and loneliness has been identified by the US Surgeon General as a public health crisis, particularly among the elderly. Our students are engaged in projects at Whitfield Place, Whitfield Commons, and Well Housed Dalton that connect them with seniors in the community. Yesterday our social work sophomores were out again visiting with residents and sharing information about upcoming meals and activities. We are proud of our students and their enthusiasm for engaging in the community and their commitment to this initiative. Service engaged learning and preparing future social workers to find solutions to community challenges is part of what makes our BSW program the program of choice at the institution of choice.

Mr. Deslattes SOWK 4401 seniors had so much fun at Westwood this week. The students are wonderfully enthusiastic about reading, and our seniors enjoyed reading along with them! Literacy is a social justice issue at the heart of social work, and partnerships like those with Westwood Elementary allow our students the opportunity to engage in service-learning activities that enhance their education, all while contributing to the community. We appreciate our community partners who welcome our students and help them make their professional career goals a reality. Thank you Chips and Salsa Westwood. Dalton State
