Each year, celebrating the achievements of our social work graduates is a joyful occasion for students, their family and friends and our entire social work community. In 2021, during a time of pandemic, we continued this time-honored tradition through a virtual event held on the afternoon of Sunday, June 13 at 1:30 p.m.
