2009 Women's Council Networking Breakfast Highlights
Cosponsored by Boston College and Fordham University, the Annual Networking Breakfast (PDF) is hosted by the Council on the Role and Status of Women in Social Work Education (“the Women's Council”) and was held Sunday, November 8 at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio.
Feminist Scholarship Awards
The breakfast brought diverse women and men together to network and honor feminist research through the presentation of the Annual Feminist Scholarship Award, offered in the name of an outstanding woman in social work education. This year’s Feminist Scholarship Award Honoree is Deborah Valentine and the Awardee is Susan Roll (pictured above). Read more about Deborah Valentine and Susan Roll.
Networking
At this year's breakfast attendees were seated by scholarship and/or research area to promote networking. Subjects included: social welfare history, human behavior and the social environment, and anti-racism/anti-oppression.
Mentor Recognition Program
Many protégés chose to publicly honor their mentors at the breakfast, making a generous donation to the Mentor Recognition Fund in their names. See who was honored as a mentor at this year's breakfast.
