Who Are We?

                            Who Are We?
                              
                                     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.
