2020 Hokenstad International Lecture
This lecture series was launched in 2007 through an endowment from M. C. “Terry” Hokenstad, a former president and long-time member of CSWE.

Kendall Institute for International Social Work Education (Kendall Institute) as well as CSWE's Commission on Global Social Work Education.
