The Social Work Alumni Committee of York University brings together alumni from both the BSW and MSW programs as well as faculty and staff. The aim of the committee is to support the interests of alumni and to help facilitate a closer relationship between the school, alumni, and current students. The committee meets every 6 to 8 weeks to discuss networking events, educational events, advocacy, mentorship, and providing feedback when requested for cyclical reviews.
