We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Aaliyah Gates to the Selma-Dallas County Children’s Policy Alliance! 🙌

👏 Congratulations, Aaliyah! We are proud of you and can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll accomplish this semester. 💫

Congratulations to one of our MSW students, Aaliyah Gates!🎉

She has been selected as a 2025-2026 Master’s Minority Fellowship Program Fellow, a prestigious national program supporting social work students dedicated to addressing mental health and substance use needs in racial and ethnic minority communities.

Aaliyah also received the Lawanna Renee Barron Scholarship from the National Association of Social Workers in recognition of her dedication to advancing mental-health equity, particularly in rural and underserved communities. 🌟
