Our students, faculty, staff, and alumni thrive at Temple University and are driven to work for the greater good of our city, state, country, and world. Collectively, social workers know and understand that if we keep going, anything is possible- because the world won’t change itself!

According to NASW: social workers help relieve people’s suffering, fight for social justice, and improve lives & communities. Most people think of social workers when they think of poverty alleviation & child welfare. Many social workers do that kind of work- but we do much more

Thank you Temple University Social Work #NASW
