BC Social Work HIV/AIDS Conference Marks Its Silver Anniversary
MAY 29, 2013
The Graduate School of Social Work's groundbreaking National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS marks its silver anniversary this year, its focus having changed in light of medical science's progress against the disease over the past quarter-century. But as conference founder Vincent Lynch adds, the need for the forum — which took place in May 2013 in Chicago — is as great as ever.
"Now, as then, it is social workers who confront the devastating impact AIDS has on individuals and families," said Lynch, who is director of continuing education at GSSW. "The goal of the conference has always been the same: to share experiences, practices, and ideas that will enable social workers to meet the needs of their clients."

Vincent D. Rougeau, Dean of Boston College Law School, will be the featured speaker at the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work 6th Annual Pinderhughes Diversity Lecture. Dean Rougeau will speak on "Reflections on Justice and Religious Diversity: Why Living Together Is Better than Living Apart."
Dean Rougeau is at the forefront of how religion, law, and multiculturalism intersect. He is a leader of a research group on global migration and cosmpolitanism as part of the Contending Modernites project, sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at Notre Dame.
Dean Rougeau explores how key assumptions underlying Catholic teaching diverge from many of the ideas animating American law and public policy in areas like poverty relief, immigration, and redress for racial discrimination.
Vincent D. Rougeau became the eleventh dean of Boston College Law School in July 2011.
