Social Work at RIT

Title: Social Work at RIT
Description: This photograph of the Social Work students in the College of General Studies, also paired with the College of Continuing Education, at RIT depicts the students working with "underprivileged” children. In the 1970s, RIT held a budding social work program that did practical, hands-on training with the students and members of the community in Rochester. The program hosted a diverse array of courses including Day Care Programming, Casework, and Neighborhood Organization and Development. This program clearly emphasized the importance of putting practical use to the information learned in the classroom and created open opportunity for the undergraduate students to practice these skills.
