The committee structure within the Grace Abbott School of Social Work facilitates democratic faculty participation in program planning and governance, goal setting and decision-making, and the fulfillment of the mission, goals and objectives of the School.
School Governance
Ten standing and ad hoc committees make up the school’s governance. Committees are comprised of social work faculty, staff, students, and community representatives. Committee members are responsible for initiating, monitoring, and evaluating all Grace Abbott School of Social Work policies and procedures. Ad hoc committees are appointed by the director as needed. Planning and decision-making with regard to policies are initiated from within the various committees and moved through appropriate channels before final presentation to the Faculty Staff Roundtable Committee.
