Diversity Equity & Inclusion
We will position the School as leaders in diversity, equity and inclusion within the University and our community. We will continue to work towards a learning and workplace environment that is more diverse and equitable. We will strive to ensure all students, faculty and staff feel safe, heard and valued.

Innovative & Quality Education
We will inspire social justice advocates around the world to seek out the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare as their educational partner.

Research Advancement
We will enhance the research infrastructure, so faculty and staff are able to rigorously advance empirical research that impacts the social work knowledge base.

Community Engagement
We are committed to strengthening partnerships with communities in Kansas, the Kansas City Metro area and nationally. We will broaden opportunities for our faculty, staff and students to strategically engage community partners and identify ways to collaborate with each other.
