The Wheelock College Social Work faculty believes that an active relationship with a variety of people committed to the mission of social work will sustain and enrich the vitality of our programs.  Consequently, the Social Work Advisory Board exists as a formal mechanism for the program to interact with the appropriate professional and consumer communities.
