Affinity Groups provide an opportunity for those of shared identity to connect, deepen their understanding, and work towards common goals. While these groups are primarily geared toward SSW staff and faculty - anyone including students and alumni, are welcomed to attend.
Our Groups Include: Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), Disability Justice & Advocacy Group (DJA), Jewish, LGBTQ+, and White Accountability Group.
The Jewish Affinity Group will meet on Mondays, with the other groups meeting on Tuesdays. All Meetings are held from 12 pm to 1pm.
