EddiE uEhaRa, dEaNthis year, we are celebrating our 80th
anniversary. Founded in 1934 during
the height of the great Depression, the
School of Social Work filled a critical need
for social workers and administrators
to deliver on the promise of new Deal
programs. u Since that time, we have
become a laboratory for change where we
think deeply and differently about our social reality. in the process, we
formulate practical and proven tools to help transform communities,
strengthen partnerships and improve lives. u As we look toward the
future, we are building on this powerful platform for social innovation.
Because, at the end of the day, action is thought’s greatest gift.

EiGhTy yEaRS oF iMpacTSince its founding in 1934, the School of
Social Work has earned a national reputation
for classroom innovation, advanced research
and public engagement. u During the great
Depression, we educated a generation of social
work leaders to serve in relief and recovery
programs that grew out of the new Deal.
u in World War ii, we focused on medical
social work, helping returning soldiers to heal
and re-enter society. u We kept pace with
rapid social change in the 1960s by creating
student and community outreach programs.
u in the 1970s, the School’s academic
direction shifted dramatically to focus on
evidence-based research, triggering two
decades of social work scholarship and
breakthrough findings to help vulnerable
individuals, families and communities to
flourish. u the School concentrated on
diversifying its faculty, student body and
curriculum in the 1990s, while growing its
research capacity with centers for aging,
indigenous health, child well-being, disease
prevention and youth development. u in
the past decade, the School reached out to
build collaborative relationships, launching
an award-winning public-private partnership
for child welfare and a statewide alliance to
strengthen the professional expertise of social
workers. u today, the School remains an
inspiring place where science, collaboration
and community come together to transform
lives and improve futures.
