Inside the Program

Social work project lets students learn firsthand about homeless veterans

Students pursuing a degree in social work can help make an impact in our local community.

A collaboration between the School of Social Work and the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center gave social work students the opportunity to learn more about the plight of homeless veterans in Wichita.

The project, which was part of the Creative Empowerment in Helping Professions class, culminated in a public art exhibition that displayed the work of homeless and formerly homeless veterans.
