Do the work that matters most

Equity, Justice, and Inclusion
Our equity, justice, and inclusion initiative is committed to courageous conversations, strategies for dismantling racism, and an anti-oppressive social work practice.聽
Life-long Network
Our supportive and inclusive culture begins on our campus and extends to our alumni network, where more than 9,000 精东影业SSW grads continue to uplift one another after graduation, offering聽career guidance and networking opportunities.聽
