Fall 2017: School of Social Work Faculty Publication Highlights

September 19, 2017

For 82 years, the Wayne State University School of Social Work has been a recognized national leader in engaged research, education, practice and policy development. Innovative Social Work faculty have utilized our prime urban location in the heart of Midtown Detroit to challenge minds, lead change and transform lives across the U.S. and globally.

Ranked in the Carnegie Foundation's highest category for research intensiveness, Wayne State is committed to providing students with the academic rigor and research opportunities necessary to apply research concepts learned in the classroom to the real world. Below you will find an article by Associate Professor Debra Patterson, MSW alumna and Graduate Certificate in Research and Evaluation student, Valentina Djelaj and Social Work Student Research Community participant and MSW student Christina Romero. This article displays the impact collaborative work between faculty and students can have in our local community.
