Each academic year, the School of Social Work recognizes one full-time and one part-time faculty member for their outstanding contribution to undergraduate and/or graduate social work. These awards aim to recognize individual faculty for teaching that stimulates intellectual curiosity in students, inspires departmental colleagues, and makes students aware of significant relationships between the School and the world-at-large.

• A strong commitment to students and to teaching and learning

• Innovations in teaching and learning
• A strong commitment to working effectively with a diverse student body
• A demonstrable impact on students’ intellectual and professional development and on their lives.
