The Black Social Work Caucus was founded by students in 1969
on the basis of integrating a multicultural perspective into the
curriculum, dialogue, and student body of the School of Social
Work. In the spirit of this foundation, the Black Social Work Caucus
continues to strive toward encouraging the tolerance of cultural
diversity, sensitivity, and awareness. One of the chief goals of the
current Board of Directors of the Black Social Work Caucus is to
increase our visibility in the School of Social Work, the USC campus,
and the community.
This is our current mission:
The Black Social Work Caucus of the University of Southern California is committed
to building solidarity among its members, USC School of Social Work faculty,
administration staff, and student body, the University community, and the Black
community at large by encouraging the tolerance of diversity, creativity,
self-determination, ethical practices, and minority leadership. We are dedicated to
academic achievement and social justice for all people of African descent and human
kind.
The Black Social Work Caucus consists of 1st and 2nd year graduate
students at the USC School of Social Work. Although most are of
African descent, we come from a variety of different backgrounds and
membership is open to all graduate students in the Social Work Program.
