The Foster Care Summit on Thursday at Grand Canyon University offered networking among child welfare professionals in Arizona to find and share resources for their important work.
Arizona first lady Angela Ducey and Director of Arizona Department of Child Safety Mike Faust joined GCU leaders, such as Dr. Sherman Elliott, Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS), and Dr. Kathleen Downey, Assistant Dean of Behavioral Health in CHSS, in leading the group toward solutions to challenges of children in foster care.
GCU faculty and alumni were well represented, including Dr. Carlton Huff, Makisha Gunty and Dr. Julie Orme of CHSS, and 1976 alum Dr. Carlian Dawson, a board member of the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation.
