Social Impact Fellows team outside of Erie County Medical Center.

As part of the Social Impact Fellows program, one team completed a project at Erie County Medical Center to help lower readmission rates for complex care patients.

In a highly collaborative environment, our experienced faculty help students expand their social awareness and prepare future social workers to positively impact individuals and social systems and policy. It's why our school is ranked among the top 10% of U.S. schools of social work.
