🎉 Congratulations to Milagros Marrero-Johnson (at right), senior director of strategic initiatives and community engagement for the UConn School of Social Work! 🎉 During a reception at the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts on Oct. 14, Milagros received a Provost’s Awards for Excellence in Community Engaged Scholarship (Distinguished Staff Award)! The Provost’s Awards recognize the outstanding contributions of faculty, staff, students, teams, and community partners who collaboratively address critical societal challenges through the creative and reciprocal exchange of knowledge and resources. Milagros’s work is rooted in a deep belief that community begins in the classroom—that when students feel seen and supported, they are better equipped to serve others with empathy, integrity, and commitment. Milagros is pictured with School of Social Work Dean Laura Curran. Read more: https://ow.ly/m3jK50XbSlR
