Social Work POWER Conference coming in February

The School of Social Work will host the 14th annual POWER (Pride of Wichita Empowerment Rally) Conference from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24, at Hughes Metropolitan Complex. This conference is for social work and social service practitioners in the Wichita and south-central Kansas area. Our theme is "The Widening Gap: Stories from the Front Lines of Social Work," focusing on inequality in access, services and resources and the problem of poor shaming, which seems to be accelerating.
