and environmental justice for all is the norm. 

The faculty, staff, and students are diverse and reflective of the communities we serve, challenging ourselves to think critically and act justly. We work with our community partners to educate and mentor students to use their social work practice to engage in innovative--including use of state-of-the-art technological tools-- critically reflective, and anti-oppressive practice and leadership.
