Social Work and Diversity Alumni Celebration

Join us for a joyful evening honoring alumni of the SWD Program

We would love to have you join us for a reunion on Thursday, June 5th at the Ackerman Institute!

It is an opportunity to reconnect with your colleagues, network and reengage as a community. Sippio’s passing, the pandemic and the ending of the program at Ackerman in a fiercely anti-DEI climate has been painful. It is all the more important to reconnect as a community and celebrate your collective impact. It would be wonderful to see what everyone’s up to and to honor all of you!

Here’s what we’re asking:

1. RSVP by May 23rd
2. When you RSVP, complete a brief survey to share your updated info
3. Consider submitting a video tribute by May 29th

Submit a Video Tribute Before May 29

We’re planning to show a video with clips of SWD alums sharing some words in remembrance/celebration of the program. We’d love to see your faces and hear your voices, particularly if you’re unable to attend in person.

Here are a few instructions for recording the video:

• No longer than 30 seconds, please!
• Send videos directly to michellesnowlmsw@gmail.com OR upload here.
• DEADLINE: Thursday, May 29, 2025
