2022 Excellence in Social Work Practice Award Winners

Excellence in Social Work Practice Awards recognize Master’s students in the Pitt School of Social Work who demonstrate exemplary commitment to their social work professional development. The awards are given to students who display outstanding potential as social workers, either through their scholarship in the classroom, in field-based learning, or community and school service. These awards are made possible by the generosity of alumni and friends of the School. Each award carries a small monetary recognition.
