Tapestry of Social Justice Symposium

This project focused on the development and execution of a half-day symposium at the CSU, Stanislaus campus focused on social justice. The objectives were accomplished through dialogue, communication, and collaboration with various community members and organizations, campus departments, and CSU, Stanislaus Master of Social Work students and faculty. In addition, the creation of a social media and campus-wide marketing campaign to advertise the event, and recording of the event for access to the information disseminated to the masses through the internet were actions taken to meet project objectives. There were emerging social justice discussions at the CSU, Stanislaus campus prior to the symposium, including the Social Justice in the Central Valley Conference sponsored by the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. However, there was a notable absence from the Master of Social Work department on the discussion of social justice at the conference or symposium level that sought to engage the entire campus community. This project brought the presence of the social work department to the discussion of social justice (the heritage of social work) to not only the campus-wide community, but to the local and global community as well.
