On Thursday, March 8, the School of Social Work will host a Cyber Summit to highlight its CyberMentoring program as well as provide resources and legislation information to the community. The event will be held in Student Center Building room 289 on WSU's campus from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Janet Joiner, assistant dean for student affairs in the School of Social Work, said by showing students how to use the Internet to empower themselves and others, they're helping decrease the incidence of harassment via social media. "Our goal is to bring awareness to the issue of cyberbullying at the high school and college levels while increasing online civility and the responsible use of social media," Joiner said. "Cyber social work is a new discipline, but one that will become more prominent as we advance technologically." Numerous media outlets nationwide ran the story.
