Statement of diversity, equity, and inclusion
The Wayne State University School of Social Work Committee on Antiracism, Diversity, and Social Justice (CADS) is charged to facilitate the transformation of the SSW into a brave space of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We do this by facilitating learning opportunities within the school through speakers, town halls, information sharing and conversations. Activities will also address systems level change by review and revision of policies and procedures.
