Class of 2020

Graduates of social work programs across the country this year are united by more than the usual accomplishments, sharing an environment in which the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected all our lives. Forced to forego the traditional gatherings to celebrate graduation, graduates, educators, and programs have found ways to bring special meaning to commencement events through technology and social networks. To support those efforts, CSWE created this space for students, faculty members, social workers, allied health-care providers, and others to leave thoughts, messages, videos, and photos for the Class of 2020.
On behalf of the staff of CSWE and over 800 programs of social work education, I want to say congratulations to the Class of 2020. It's something that you can be incredibly proud of, even though the current pandemic has created another whole layer of emotions for this particular time. We hope this platform will provide support for the entire social work community.
