Undocumented
In social work and nursing, the linchpin of our values is social justice for all.
Our vigilance and concern for equity has been central to this school since its earliest inception and stands as a hallmark today. As a consequence, we are deeply concerned about the way in which current executive orders have been implemented and their impact on individuals, families and communities. As a school, we pledge to continue our tradition of action and concern for those who are oppressed, neglected and vulnerable to exploitation, wherever they may be.
