Farber Memorial Fellowship
The School of Social Work’s Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce that applications are being accepted for the Farber Memorial Fellowship’s inaugural offering. This fellowship is for University of Washington MSW students who will be enrolled during the 2013-2014 academic year. The fund has been established to honor the social work careers of Arthur and Ruth Farber.
About Arthur and Ruth Farber:
In a career starting as a practitioner, supervisor and executive, and culminating in 17 years as a professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work, Arthur was a courageous pioneer for social justice and individual empowerment. In addition to his professional areas of interest, Arthur Farber’s personal style embodied a constant expressive joy in the exploration of ideas that led him intrinsically toward innovation.
His colleagues admired his capacity to maintain broad-based intellectual respect and cordial relationships with those holding differing opinions. Students found him open and warm, as he encouraged them to explore themselves and their chosen profession with honesty and depth. Friends and family delighted in his humor and treasured his capacity for self-examination and thirst for learning. And he was that rare academic – a philosopher practitioner – who sought to be a change agent and made a difference.
Throughout Arthur’s career, Ruth, a professional social work counselor for over 50 years, had been his essential partner, united in outlook, yet willing to discuss and question each new turn of his philosophical journey.
The Farber Memorial Fund will offer a annual award to a student whose research, written work or practicum experience best exemplifies the following:
1. Social work theory or practice that demonstrates innovation in improving the health and welfare of individuals and communities.
2. Examples of the student’s personal commitment to and practice of the above values and practices.
The fellowship consists of a one-time award of approximately $2000.00 to the selected student.
