The Sandra Rosenbaum School of Social Work educates and trains students to pursue social and economic justice as practitioners, researchers, advocates, and policymakers. Social workers have a unique role to play in efforts to achieve these goals, given the profession’s emphasis on systems and structures and their effects on human well-being. We must use our skills to reimagine oppressive systems and meaningfully confront structural forces that are responsible for so many inequities and harms experienced by the individuals, families, and communities we serve. Our students need your support to take on these pressing challenges and to become allies and leaders in creating change.
How your gifts make an impact
Your gift, of any size, will help ensure that future social workers and scholars have the tools necessary to impact a world that is in tremendous need of equity, justice, transformation — and social workers.
Why we need your support
Gifts are student focused. They help students with financial need, reduce student debt, send students to attend and present at conferences, support social justice research, support rural field placements, and provide grants for trainings and equipment for remote learning. Funds are specifically used to support our diversity and equity initiatives, such as our annual Social Workers Confronting Racial Injustice Conference, a schoolwide community read, and much more.
Gifts made in support of the Sandra Rosenbaum School of Social Work will be contributed to School of Social Work Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
