Social Welfare: Documentary and Discussion


The month of October was a busy one for the Social Welfare LLC. We have attended several exciting events as a community and partnered with the Community Engagement & Leadership LLC (North Tower Floor 10) for a screening of the documentary 53206. This event was attended by Officer Griffin from the UWM Police Department and Academic Advisor Talisa Smith, who teaches our Social Welfare orientation class.

Following the screening of 53206, residents of the Social Welfare LLC and Community Engagement & Leadership LLC were able to have an open discussion with Officer Griffin and Talisa about the contents of the documentary. Our residents reported that they enjoyed the event and felt like it was a valuable experience. We are looking forward to partnering with the Community Engagement & Leadership LLC more in the future!

In addition to our 53206 screening, we still have plenty of events in the works. On November 28, the Social Welfare LLC will be sponsoring Coffee With a Cop alongside the UWM Police Department in Sandburg Halls. Coffee with a Cop is a program used by police departments nationwide to connect with their communities and have open, honest conversations with no agenda.

There are plenty of great things in store, the school year is off to a great start!
