Four UConn School of Social Work alums recently won their local elections in Connecticut. We extend our congratulations to:
Pamela Floyd-Cranford ’96 SSW won re-election to the Manchester Board of Directors
Darleen Klase ’88 (CLAS) ’08 SSW won a seat on the Windsor Town Council
Dr. Shannon Lane ’09 SSW won a seat on the Bethany Board of Education
Sarah Miller ’22 SSW won her re-election to the New Haven Board of Alders
Both Dr. Lane and Klase were endorsed by NASW/CT PASE, the political action committee of NASW/CT.
“UConn SSW is proud to have so many of our alumni leading in politics and policy across the state and country,” says Tanya Rhodes Smith, instructor in residence and director of The Nancy A. Humphreys Institute for Political Social Work. “Social workers are uniquely qualified to serve as elected officials because they bring the profession's values, expertise of how policy impacts communities and populations, and our commitment to social justice to their role as leaders.”
