Beginning in Spring 2023, it has been an honor to celebrate those SACSW students, faculty, and alumni who have demonstrated outstanding engagement with diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, antiracism, and social justice at our annual JOY & JUSTICE event.
The title of this event was inspired by the poem "Joy Is the Justice We Give Ourselves" by J. Drew Lanham.
