More from Cano:

"As a social worker, I believe in fairness and justice. Many Master of Social Work students at UTSA are “non-traditional,” employed full-time and/or are parents/caregivers. As an educator, I envision a system that minimizes barriers to these students’ education; a system that promotes a fluid dissemination of knowledge; a system that provides the tools students need to acquire knowledge, skills, and values—regardless of whether or not students can afford these tools. Open educational resources are consistent with the values of the social work profession and the need to facilitate equitable access to quality education."
