Faculty Profiles

Faculty: Each of the MSW faculty members in the Department of Social Work is actively engaged in research, writing, or University and community programs in addition to teaching. Some recent faculty projects have focused on under-represented student populations, AIDS, the elderly, growth of large urban centers, immigration, anti-poverty strategies, unmet after-school needs of elementary students and discipline-specific practice differences in relation to vulnerable populations.
