This fall students and faculty from the Norman campus hosted a PIE IN THE FACE fundraiser for their upcoming social justice spring break trip to attend a national conference in Birmingham, Alabama and stop at other historical sites along the Civil Rights Trail including Little Rock, Memphis, Selma, and Montgomery. This group of 11 students accompanied by Professors Renea Butler-King and Jennifer Dell plan to share with other schools around the country about the intentional way the Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work is beginning to address race. This student group and faculty will be able to reflect and dialogue throughout this social justice experience and identify continued efforts that can be made to address racism and injustice. Due to the tremendous support of the students, staff, and faculty this event raised over $400. The group hopes to raise $7,000 to support the costs of this trip. Additional fundraisers are planned including a benefit dinner/ silent auction on February 7th from 7-9 pm. If you are interested in donating to these efforts please contact Jennifer Dell at 405-325-6772 or jenniferdell@ou.edu.
