The Institute for Clinical Social Work (ICSW) is pleased to announce that Alex Kotlowitz will deliver the thirty-first commencement address.
For over forty years, bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz has been telling stories of struggle and perseverance. Recognized for his perceptive portrayals of poverty, race , and immigration, Kotlowitz has brought an acute and empathetic lens to on-the-ground reporting in many forms of media-print and radio journalism, documentary film, and books-from his breakout book, There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in the Other America to his latest An American Summer: Love and Death in Chicago.
President Michelle Curtain Stewart announced this week that ICSW will hold a virtual commencement ceremony on its originally scheduled date of June 6, 2020. Stewart said, "Kotlowitz's work on the impact of community on individuals, from some of the most neglected neighborhoods in Chicago, provides insight into understanding the disparate impact the current pandemic is having in neighborhoods throughout the city."
