MSW Field Profiles 2022-23

MSW Megan Kishbaugh 2022 Agency Name: KU Women's Center and LGBTQ+ Center Profile: The Women’s Center and LGBTQ+ Resource Center strive to create a community that promotes inclusivity, empowerment, and equity. The centers are a safe space for Kutztown students and the surrounding community. They host programs and discussions in hopes to educate and engage others on topics surrounding social justice. The centers offer a variety of resources for students. Field Placement Responsibilities: As an intern at the Women’s Center and LGBTQ+ Center, I work on projects to help promote inclusivity and equity, including the All-Inclusive Establishments initiative. This project was started by a previous intern to get local businesses to support inclusivity within their establishment. I also help oversee the Stonewall Community. This is a community of first year students who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community. Other responsibilities at the centers include attending trainings, hosting trainings to educate others, supporting students who come into the centers and researching topics regarding current social justice issues. Future Goals: In the future, I hope to work with survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. I also have an interest in working with those who identify with the LGBTQ+ community.
