The Brown School at Washington University’s Clark-Fox Policy Institute hosted a virtual panel  discussion on Zoom about the importance of paid leave for families, Feb. 28. The event was titled “Supporting Working Parents: Family Friendly Business Policies” and featured five panelists from organizations in the St. Louis area, including a panelist from the City of St. Louis Mayor’s Office.

Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Austin Sandoval-Sweeney and Executive Director for Campus Life Leslie Heusted hosted the forum to serve as a space to provide reasoning for new policy changes in addition to encouraging feedback on how they could best improve the policy to suit the needs of Greek members on campus.

Following student demand for more policy-based offerings, the Brown School of Social Work is set to launch the Clark-Fox Policy Institute in the spring of 2017.
