School Graduates First MSW@USC Class

The school celebrated the graduation of its first MSW@USC class with 130 web-based students from 26 states, many of whom donned cap and gown to participate in graduation ceremonies alongside the school’s on-campus graduates.

Ending Homelessness

The school convened a forum on "Integrated Care and Housing for Homeless Persons in Los Angeles" to increase understanding and identify key challenges and strategies for advancing and sustaining efforts to end homelessness in Los Angeles.
