From working to reduce youth violence in urban areas to teaching HIV/STI prevention in Kazakhstan, our faculty members are changing the world through social work. Among the most distinguished scholars and practitioners in the nation, they have testified as expert witnesses before government committees, served on the editorial boards of top scholarly journals, and reviewed proposals for NGOs and U.S. cabinet-level departments.

As academic advisors, our full-time faculty help students structure field placements and define research.
