The Impact of Giving

Giving plays a vital role in supporting the School of Social Work, and its impact can be seen in the lives of students, alumni, and community members. Generosity comes in many forms, from donating time and talent to providing financial resources, which help fund initiatives as shown below.

Supporting students in their field placements is essential as it provides them with the hands-on experience needed to become effective social workers. Fieldwork is where students apply classroom knowledge to real-life situations, learning how to navigate complex social issues and support diverse communities. By contributing to these opportunities, donors help ease the financial burden for students, allowing them to dedicate themselves fully to their work in the field.
