Cal J. Halvorsen, associate professor, and Joe Jovanovich, lecturer, both at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis, have received a curricular innovation grant from WashU’s Bauer Leaders Academy.
The grant will support Halvorsen and Jovanovich as they update the “Social Work Practice with Organizations and Communities” course, also known as “Practice 2,” to include new leadership learning components. The pair will revise the course syllabus over the summer, incorporating input from fellow instructors, students, and community partners, in preparation for the spring 2027 semester.
The Bauer Leaders Academy, in partnership with the Bauer Leadership Center, offers selective grants to help faculty incorporate purpose and leadership themes into their courses.
