LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 20, 2021) In a world continually dealing with social injustices and inequality, communities need continued support.
Social workers provide critically important services aimed at improving safety and well-being. The hope is, that behind every person going through a difficult challenge whether it s abuse, addiction, disability, discrimination or poverty there s a social worker waiting to help address it.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest have underscored the demand for skilled practitioners who can adapt in a variety of settings.
Confronting these challenges starts with world-class instruction and educational experiences. In an effort to meet the moment, a new concentration in the Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) program will prepare social work students to become educators.
