It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

The building that the UGA School of Social Work resides in has a unique and storied history that few knew about. Until @janemcphers uncovered it, that is. Now that story and its ties to the profession are part of our MSW curriculum. #uga #socialwork #
