Nikole Komand Helps Host Social Work Conference at Alvernia

2016 Apr 8

Nikole Komand of Mertztown, Pa., helped to host an annual community social work conference at Alvernia University in April 2016. Senior social work students offered "Homelessness - One Road to Social Justice: Changing Today to Protect Tomorrow" as an all day conference that offered continuing education credits for professionals in the field of social work.

Attendees learned about the current state of homelessness for the most vulnerable community members, including immigration, domestic violence, addiction, and military veterans. Panel discussions were held with field experts as well as people who have personally experienced homelessness.
