Faculty, staff, and students are invited to join Dean Conner in participating in the 2026 Day of Caring. Together, we will beautify a playground in Homewood in partnership with The Oasis Project, Homewood Children’s Village, and Operation Better Block. Don’t forget, staff are eligible to receive paid time off each month to participate in community service or volunteer activities! Register here and enter “Social Work/Homewood Playground Project” as your ‘Group’. Dr. Aliya Durham is our team lead and will send final details after registration closes on Sept. 30. See you in Homewood!
