Dear Alums, 

I  appreciated the opportunity for the entire BCSSW community to come together to recognize our Distinguished Alumni Award winners and to reflect on and discuss this year’s theme of Accompaniment in Action. Award recipients Jooyoung Kong and Jennifer Lemmerman are tackling difficult and important issues that make the world a better place. Many alumni also returned to say good-bye to Sue Coleman who retired in October.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with our committed Alumni Board members, who bring their creativity and dedication to their work in engaging alumni and students and supporting the initiatives of the School of Social Work.

I wish you all a wonderful 2026!

With appreciation,
 
Cindy Snell, Director of Career Services and Alumni Relations
