In honor of Social Work Month, the Department of Social Work will host the third annual “Digital Blackout & Just Walk” tournament on Thursday, March 14, in the Student Fitness Center. The event raises awareness for digital mental health and the use and overuse of mobile devices, the Internet and social media. Two-person teams of faculty, staff and students will turn off their phones and compete in a one-mile walk for trophies and medals. The “best-dressed” team will receive individual trophies. Contact Professor of Social Work Janet Joiner at 313-993-1038 or email joinerjm@udmercy.edu to sign up!
