Making a Gift to The USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work

To understand the impact social workers have on society, imagine a world without them. Who would protect the severely abused child? Who would find shelter for those experiencing homelessness, comfort and counsel abused women, advocate for the disenfranchised, and help build stronger and healthier communities?

Social workers help society address the greatest challenges of our time, and influence how the next generation will respond to the challenges of the future. The problems we face as a society are growing more and more complex and require highly trained practitioners to navigate a constantly evolving landscape of needs. Often an interdisciplinary understanding and approach to solutions is necessary, and we continue to develop more opportunities for students to learn how social work can partner with other disciplines to create lasting change. In large part, this is driven by the community-based research of our faculty which guides our teaching and, in turn, informs the educational experience of our students.
