What began as a group project during the GSS Summer London experience turned into a professional social work conference presentation!
While abroad this summer, MSW students Brandon Kitchner and Alycia Shannon were tasked with designing a program a London settlement house could offer. They landed on three ingredients: tea (obviously!), film, and reminiscence. They presented their project at the 53rd annual State Society on Aging of New York conference this month in Saratoga Springs, NY.
"Social workers, I feel like micro, macro, we’re everywhere,” Shannon said. “That’s the one thing I’ve really discovered in this program.”
