Promoting Human Welfare
Every year, Valpo social work students journey to the Indiana statehouse in Indianapolis for Legislative Education and Advocacy Day (LEAD). This annual trip is an opportunity for students to gain real-world experience, talk to their legislators, and advocate for positive change for their communities. For Lydia Stumme-Berg ’24 and Julie Vick ’25, that meant encouraging additional protections surrounding the internet and social media usage in front of Indiana’s legislature.
