Celebrating Our 90th Anniversary
with Advocacy and Dialogue Starting this November, the School of Social Work begins a year-long anniversary celebration of our 90 years of promoting social change and social justice through excellence in research, education, and practice. What began in 1921 as part of a bachelor’s degree offered in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts has grown into one of the world’s preeminent schools of social work, leading the profession in training, teaching, research, innovation, scholarship, collaboration, and service.
