Kendall Institute Advisory Board

The programmatic policy-making body for the Kendall Institute is the Advisory Board. Board members are experts from the international social work community and represent the International Association of Schools of Social Work, the Canadian Association for Social Work Education, and other partnerships for international education. A content expert for each of the Institute’s program priorities is appointed to give ongoing consultation on the topic and to further develop the Institute’s programs. The three programmatic priorities selected by the Advisory Board are disaster response, migration, and human rights.
