The Year in Review

We invite you to read this small selection of stories that illustrate the diverse and highly impactful work being done on many fronts by University of Illinois School of Social Work faculty and staff members, students, alumni, and community partners in the last year.

“I wasn’t expecting it to be so hands-on, it really is a family atmosphere. It’s an incredible program with incredible people. No question is too silly to ask. I expected support, but what I’ve received is tenfold.”

Yolanda O’Connor, MSW Student
