LSWC is committed to closing the opportunity gap in higher education and supporting the personal and professional well-being of its members. The purpose of the Latinx Social Work Caucus (LSWC) is to build connections to ensure students and faculty feel a sense of belonging and community. This student-led initiative seeks to empower members of the School of Social Welfare community with tools to bring an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens to their practice in order to advance the movement to end structural racism. The Cal Anti-Racism Collaborative (Cal ARC) creates non-academic spaces for UC Berkeley Social Welfare students, faculty, and alumni to discuss topics of power, privilege, and oppression within the field of social work. API Caucus also serves to empower and uplift the voices of self-identified Asian and/or Pacific Islander students within a program that lacks representation of this community.Ĭontacts: Lillian Man ( and Christine Yang ( ) API Caucus was also formed to create a safe holding space for API folks to build community with each other and reflect about their experiences in and out of the MSW program.
The purpose of the group is to promote networking and connection amongst emerging social workers of API backgrounds, as social services catered to the broad API community are so sparse and limited. The Asian and Pacific Islander Social Worker Caucus is a group of MSW students at UC Berkeley who self-identify as Asian and/or Pacific Islander (API). Future steps for Berkeley Social Welfare Delegates will be to create an official succession plan including an election process supported by the department.ĭelegates: Darin Wong ( Taylor Washington ( Student-led Groups Asian and Pacific Islander (API) Social Worker Caucus

For more information on the GA, feel free to check out the Graduate Assembly website. While the Graduate Assembly provides an avenue for students to organize around the interests of all graduate students, the GA is not necessarily an avenue where delegates should bring direct Social Welfare issues to light (i.e., class curriculum specifics, student complaints on specific school issues, etc.), unless this is relevant to the general graduate body (e.g., the need for more mental health services for graduate students, practical use of WSJ and NYT subscriptions for graduate students, etc.). In service to these principles, the GA advocates for students, funds student groups on campus, and directly manages a variety of projects. The fundamental principles of the GA are the promotion of a vibrant student social life, inclusiveness, activism, community service, educational improvement, and professional development.
