Each year, the UNOmaha School of Social Work recognizes an individual or organization whose efforts embody the Gandhian principles of nonviolence, social action and social justice. He has dedicated the past 25 years of his life to causes that embody Gandhian principles of nonviolence and the social work profession's values. He is worthy of this distinct honor. He currently is working on a series of projects with rural and urban populations in Nebraska, including farmers in southeastern Nebraska, urban gardeners in Omaha, immigrant populations in western Nebraska, and refugees in Lincoln and Omaha. Bob Woolfson, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, will serve as the luncheon speaker.
Social work continuing education units are available in conjunction with the workshops.
The event, sponsored by UNOmaha, will be held at the Holiday Inn Central, 72nd and Grover streets. The doors will open at 7 a.m. for a breakfast buffet. Dickler is senior vice president in the division of health care affairs with the Association of American Medical Colleges. The ABC Breakfast Speaker Series is celebrating its 26th season in 2000-01.
