Adelphi University School of Social Work Community Advisory Board Member

Shelita Birchett Benash, MSW

When I speak of change, I do not mean a simple switch of positions or a temporary lessening of tensions, nor the ability to smile or feel good. I am speaking of a basic and radical alteration in those assumptions underlining our lives.

Honored to share deeply moving news. Dr. Carolann Daniel, PhD, Interim Associate Dean, Adelphi University School of Social Work, has invited me to join the newly forming Adelphi University School of Social Work Community Advisory Board and I accepted the social work leadership opportunity. I look forward to giving back, as I stand on the shoulder of the many who have come before me. I am thrilled to be a part of positive disruption and change in serving the Adelphi students and community. Watch this space. Gratitude.
