Strong private support enables the School of Social Work to:

• Provide fellowships for graduate students, to ensure educational opportunities for talented individuals who may otherwise have to sacrifice graduate training.
  
  
• Invest in the best faculty; individuals who advance knowledge, give life to new ideas, influence generations of students and shape the landscape of service delivery.
  
  
• Offer transformative experiential learning and field research that are part of the education and preparation of effective social work leaders, practitioners, and researchers.
