As we continue to spotlight recent DSW capstones, today we feature Eric P. Ruiz, DSW ’26, who used implementation science to enhance the self-efficacy of mental health professionals working with individuals with mental health diagnoses and intellectual and developmental disabilities. 🙌

For her DSW capstone, Melissa Elliott-Brogan, DSW ’26, created an evidence-informed intervention called the Holistic Resilience Recharge (HRR) to address the effects of trauma work on social workers. 👋 The project was guided by implementation science.

This week, we’re featuring five outstanding capstone projects from our last DSW cohort. Through their capstones, DSW students design, implement and evaluate an evidence-based intervention and make an immediate impact at their agency.

First up: Tammie S. Williams-Pittman, DSW ’26, who partnered with BIPOC high school students in Long Island, NY, for her DSW capstone project addressing the civic empowerment gap and gaps in motivation, knowledge and confidence. “Civic Fridays” allowed students to explore how to make a civic impact in their own community. 💙

Tiffany J. Nhan, MSW/PhD Student, shares her last post from her international placement. 🌏

Xinh chào from Việt Nam, as I wrap up my final days here, I am reminded of how grateful I got to have this experience! I learned so much about the social work framework in Việt Nam. This experience has elevated the ways I think about policy and implementation. I also got to learn more about my culture and heritage. One of my favorite closing experiences was engaging in the art culture, which ranged from traditional to modern art. I don't often get to see people who look like me in art spaces, so that was truly a treat! Lastly, I got to connect with extended family, who, despite meeting for the first time, took me in with open arms. I am so grateful that I got to learn more about my family's history and Việt Nam from local contexts.

Checking in one last time with our 2026 Social Impact Fellows, who wrapped up their summer of impact a few weeks back by presenting their work at the annual Impact Showcase. 🙌

The student team working with the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor was honored for making immediate impact, while students working with the Collaborative Center for Social Innovation were recognized for developing the plan with the most long-term potential. Buffalo Center for Arts and Technology was named Organization of the Year.
