The Center for Social Science Innovation (CSSI) has recently accepted four new participants for its Grant Writing Residency Program (GWRP). The GWRP provides resources and support to researchers preparing to submit grant proposals. The School of Social Work's very own Aislinn Conrad is one of the newly accepted participants and is preparing her grant proposal to be submitted to the National Science Foundation.

Sam Ramsey, an MSW graduate from the University of Iowa, transitioned from engineering to social work to address mental health challenges. Now the College of Law's embedded therapist, she fosters openness and community around mental health.

Audri Lu-Uhlken, a University of Iowa MSW student, empowers Asian Pacific Islander communities through her work at Monsoon, addressing gaps in mental health and advocacy while balancing school, career, and motherhood.

Please welcome the newest faculty members at the School of Social Work: Aynsley Scheffert, Peggy Trosper, and Sharaine Webster, who bring diverse experience in clinical practice, teaching, and research to the program.
