The Master of Social Work (MSW) program has received a $75,000, 3-year grant in the Hartford Partnership Program for Aging Education. This program addresses the growing demand for social workers as the nation’s aging population is expected to more than triple by 2050. The grant, in consortium with the University of Minnesota, will support, through a scholarship and additional learning opportunities, the advanced field placement work of second-year MSW students specializing in serving older adults.
