Community

A focus on empathy, collaboration, and innovation fosters an environment of support and success. Annual events bring the community together and dedicated spaces—including our Social Work Library and student lounge—provide venues to connect, study, and relax.

“I am surrounded by a community and team who are asking questions, challenging the status quo, and seeking to be the best practitioners possible. I feel I can easily tap a professor on the shoulder for guidance as easily as I can collaborate with my peers on outreach and advocacy.”
