Hidden Stories of the Human Experience
The School of Social Work is thrilled to embark on a special campaign, illuminating the profound significance of social work during the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8th.
We invite our community to join us in capturing the transformative power of the human experience by submitting photos that celebrate compassion, resilience, and the impactful journey of those in need.
Submit an image depicting the story of the often-hidden human experience – an image shining a light on marginalized populations. Elevate the voices of those often not heard or misunderstood.
Together, let's shine a light on the positive change social work brings to our world. Your contributions will not only capture moments but inspire a brighter future for all.
Photos selected will be on display in the School of Social Work and SMART Hospital building’s Community Commons area for two weeks.
Campaign Mission
Our mission with this campaign is to amplify the voices of the marginalized and raise awareness about the vital role of social workers in our daily lives.
