Using an anti-oppressive lens, this Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program intentionally introduced power sharing between students and faculty during the first semester of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study qualitatively examined the students' response to this interpersonal intervention and found: (1) This experience helped all participants appreciate each person's unique contribution, which was helpful in building their confidence in themselves and each other as developing social work professionals, (2) Students experienced a greater sense of closeness with all members of the group, and (3) Working together as equals helped students feel supported as they faced difficulties in their personal lives. Anti-oppressive pedagogical strategies focusing on the nature of the relationship may provide high levels of support and empowerment for students.
