Social Action 2022 Awards for Group Projects

The Adelphi University School of Social Work organizes an annual, school-wide, social action initiative to create an impact in our communities while providing opportunities for our social work students to learn skills of social action. Social action is a very important part of social work practice and therefore of social work education. Social Workers add our voices to those of our clients and communities, creating a more informed society and raising awareness of social injustices and the need for change. The topic addressed by the 2022 social action initiative was Environmental Justice. Students worked in groups to learn about and implement social action activities to make an impact on this important social justice issue. The top-ranked group effort in each category of social action received the Award of Recognition for Outstanding Social Action Group Project.
