Dean's Welcome  

 

The School of Social Work is dedicated to achieving excellence in professional education and research that inform social work practice, social policy, and public engagement.  Few social work programs in the United States can claim as rich legacy and a heritage as Howard’s.  Our commitment to quality practice, scholarship, and leadership in the social work profession all contribute to an atmosphere that supports the realization of the potential in all of our faculty, staff and students.

The goals and objectives of the School of Social Work emphasize preparation of advanced level MSW professionals to practice at the local, national and international levels for the solution of human problems and to become leaders in their communities. Our doctoral graduates are prepared for the professoriate, research and leadership. Both masters and doctoral graduates are expected to become architects of liberating structures in communities that are empowered to serve the best interests of all of their members

 

My vision as Dean for the School of Social Work is to:

·        Recruit and retain the best faculty and student talent available
·        Provide high quality, innovative, social work education with national and global perspectives
·        Promote cross-disciplinary faculty research collaborations and scholarship
·        Build school-community partnerships of significance with alumni
·        Foster social justice on behalf of diverse, vulnerable populations
·        Affirm our commitment to integrate The Black Perspective in our teaching, research and service. 

We welcome your interest and invite you to continue to browse our website to learn more about our School and the opportunities which could lead to a productive and meaningful social work career.
