Advocacy DayAustin, TX

• March 3 was Social Work Advocacy Day in Austin. Two MSU social work faculty and about 10 students attended this event. They attended the House Gallery and the Senate Gallery. At 1 pm they had a meeting with Representative James Frank. The students were able to learn how to work with their legislators to make a positive difference.

Midwestern State University Social Work Students Students studying social work at MSU visited the office this week. We had a lively discussion about social work programs at CPS and schools. It was great to see so many college students engaged with their state government.
