Alumni & Friends
From the inception of social work as a profession in the early 1900s, our college has been a leader nationally and within our own community. Our graduates amplify the voices of those who are often ignored, ensuring their safety, dignity and quality of life.
Social work is a natural home for the academic preparation of great leaders; graduates of our college have risen to become CEOs of Netcare, United Way, and organizations with significant community impact.
