Student Spotlight: Ruki Asfe, MSW Class of '2022
Ruki is running for the position of Delegate to the NASW Delegate Assembly!
Bio: I am an MSW student at Stony Brook University, and I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Psychology. I have been working as a care manager for 5 years, to coordinate care for clients with intellectual/ developmental disabilities & mental health needs. My passion lies in human rights work, and I am actively seeking to raise awareness regarding the crisis faced by Rohingya People in Southeast Asia. I have also been a member of the Advocacy and Government Relations committee in the NYS NASW for the past year. Our focus has revolved around expanding voting access to all New Yorkers. In my free time, I enjoy reading.
Platform Statement: As a Delegate Assembly Member in the NYS Chapter of the NASW, I hope to be able to contribute to the direction the NASW takes in addressing public policy and priorities. Social Workers have a responsibility to their profession to contribute to the improvement of social justice, as we all have seen over the course of the last year. I will endeavor to work hard to help develop policy statements and program priorities for the NYS chapter to best represent all member’s interests and goals for our profession.
