About Rutgers School of Social Work
Our Mission
Our mission is to develop and disseminate knowledge through social work research, education, and training that promotes social and economic justice and strengthens individual, family, and community well-being in this diverse and increasingly global environment of New Jersey and beyond.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The School of Social Work’s initiative for Inclusion, Intersectionality, Diversity, Equity and Advancement (IIDEA), along with the IIDEA Committee, was established in fall 2020 as part of the School’s strategic plan, Toward a More Just Future.
