Parvin Purawal earned their BSW in May 2022 and will pursue an MSW in the fall semester. The specialization they plan on choosing is Community, Policy, and Political Social Action because they would like to help make changes in housing-related policies.
Parvin has interned at the office of a Suffolk County Legislator where they have had the opportunity to witness how policies are created and how important it is to advocate for legislative change to better our communities. They have also interned at the Office of Family and Children’s Services as a Research Aide and this experience has further opened their eyes to the flaws in housing policy and the lack of resources for homeless youth. Lastly, Parvin served as the secretary of the Undergraduate Social Welfare Alliance at Stony Brook University and is an active member of the NASW-NYS Political Action for Candidate Election committee.
