Special recognition and award areas are developed by the Division of Social Work at UW to express our appreciation for students, faculty and alumni achievements and, ultimately, to honor various types of contributions that support and advance the academic mission and direction of the Division. The Division of Social Work views these special recognitions and awards as a process that contributes to a spirit of "open appreciation" for the learning that is required of the social work professional and the investment made toward achieving a social work degree; the commitment needed to become a competent social worker. In the following series of boxes, each special recognition and award is described including identifying the anticipated time frame for nominations, what person(s) can submit a nomination, and some general criteria that defines these recognition awards.

 

Students, faculty, field instructors, and community colleagues may submit nominations throughout February. Nominations must be submitted no later than March 1, 2008. Each nomination must address the defined criteria in a written letter submitted to the Director. When a nomination is made, the Division Director will ask the nominee for their most current resume and ask that nominee if s/he is willing to be considered for the recognition or award for which they have been nominated. 

 

A Recognition and Awards Review Committee is appointed by the Division Director and includes administrators and students.  These special recognitions and awards will be presented at the March Student Appreciation Reception, Thursday, March  27^th, at 4PM. A plaque will remain in the Division with the names of honorees each year.
