Q Getting Started Indiana Wesleyan University is a very special place, with distinct values. As a student, you are a central part of our community. Please take a moment to review the vision and mission of the university. Consider what being a world changer means to you. There is no right or wrong answer! The purpose of this assignment is simply to become familiar with the IWU vision and mission and consider what being a world changer means to you. The Christianity and Social Work Reader provides insights from social workers who are Christians regarding the integration of Christian faith and the social work profession. Since IWU is a place where integration of Christian faith with all areas of study is a foundational value, it is important for social work students to engage with this perspective. That does not mean you have to accept and embrace it, but be willing to consider and reflect upon it. Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to: • Become familiar with the IWU vision and the mission of the university. • Consider what being a world changer means to you. • Apply ethical, Christ-like attitudes, values, and worldview within the context of the social work profession. ________________________________________ Resources • Website: IWU Mission and Commitments • Textbook: Christianity and Social Work: Readings in the Integration of Christian Faith and Social Work Practice • Website: IWU World Changers Hall of Fame ________________________________________ Instructions 1.
