A Message from the Dean
Fall semester 2024 has been busy, productive, and a great time to be on the UIC campus. This issue of Affirmations provides a look at the College’s mission in action. The Social Work in Schools specialization is featured along with a story highlighting mass incarceration as a significant social policy matter. Articles about the phenomenal career of a JACSW graduate and experiences of a current student round out the issue. I hope you find Affirmations informative, interesting, and inspirational.
Sincerely,
Creasie Finney Hairston, PhD
Dean and Professor
