In honor of National Social Work Month, the University of Kentucky College of Social Work (CoSW) will host an appreciation event for any UK employee who has graduated from a social work program or currently serves the campus in a social work capacity.

The event will take place on Friday, March 31, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the 2nd floor balcony of the Gatton Student Center. Attendees will receive CoSW swag as a small token of acknowledgment and appreciation.

Often unheralded and sometimes misunderstood, social work is a distinct and noble profession. As codified by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, “The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people.”

For 85 years, the University of Kentucky College of Social Work (CoSW) has been a leader in social work education. As a college, we promote community and individual well-being through translational research and scholarship, exemplary teaching, and vital community engagement. We are committed to the people and social institutions throughout Kentucky, the nation, and the world. Like the University, CoSW is an organization that cultivates a diverse academic community characterized by interpersonal fairness and social justice. We are fiercely committed to developing outstanding social work professionals — leaders who will serve individuals, families, and communities through innovative and effective practices that are guided by cultural competency, systematic ethical analysis, and a keen and pragmatic understanding of the human condition.
