Kudos to our graduate research assistant this year! She did an amazing job with helping us put together this resource for the Northland!

Park University is stepping up, creating a catalog of resources to help people without a home or who are afraid of losing theirs.

Park University's Departments of Social Work and Criminal Justice wanted to help students, alumni and the broader community in a meaningful way while also facilitating real-world learning opportunities for our university. One issue common to both disciplines is housing insecurity.

05/08/2023

In Fall 2022, the Departments of Social Work & Criminal Justice conducted a Housing panel to look at Housing Insecurity in the Northland (KC). Deliverable #1 is complete. Now available online is a comprehensive guide that covers housing resources in the area (including pantries, shelters, vouchers, and more). Please share! (Scroll down & see Housing Guide Resource on the right hand menu)

Park University's flagship campus in Parkville, MO, offers over 40 clubs and organizations and 16 varsity sports teams. Dine in our newly renovated dining hall and keep fit in one of our well-appointed fitness centers.

Our amazing students presented their capstone projects today at our 15th Annual Research Colloquium! They demonstrate the importance of research-informed practice everyday, but they really shined today.

A big shout out to Toni Owens, MSW Class of 2018, who presented the precursor to her dissertation topic— using phenomenological research to illustrate the counter stories of black students and create social change . Our students were so inspired!

Students, Field Instructors, Alumni— don’t forget about our research colloquium on Thursday, April 13!
