窪做惇蹋厙 will host the 26th annual Illinois Department of Children and Family Services on Friday, Oct. 10.
The theme for the event, which will take place in the Student Union on 窪做惇蹋厙s main campus at 3701 W. Bryn Mawr Ave. in Chicago, is Latinos Matter: Promoting our Identity and Culture in Child Welfare. WGN-TVs Ana Belaval will serve as the luncheon keynote speaker.
We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with DCFS through our Department of Social Work, 窪做惇蹋厙 President Sharon Hahs said. We look forward to continued activities, networking and mutual support.
At this years Institute, plans to launch Yo Soy DCFS, a campaign to recruit social workers for Latino child welfare.
We thought this partnership with 窪做惇蹋厙 would be a natural fit because one of the challenges we have is attracting social workers who are bilingual, said Lourdes Rodriguez of the Illinois DCFS Office of Affirmative Action.
窪做惇蹋厙 is one of only two public four-year universities in the Midwest federally designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutions.
