Russian delegates from the Open World Program visited with students and faculty from UMSL’s School of Social Work on Nov. 21. The visitors were hosted by the World Affairs Council of St. Louis and included seven delegates focusing on social service issues and an interpreter. The visitors sat down with UMSL students and faculty to learn about social service programs and agencies as well as how resources and funding are provided, particularly in issues of children and families. The Open World Program brings young political and civic leaders from Russia and nine post-Soviet states to the United States for short-term professional trips.
