BUSSW Receives Award for SWRNet at Society for Social Work and Research Conference

During the Plenary Session on January 15 at the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Conference in New Orleans, LA, Dean Steketee was asked to come to the stage to receive a surprise award for BUSSW’s management of SWRnet (Social Work Research Network), the online compendium of research funding and related research opportunities disseminated to social work researchers nationwide.

“The real kudos go to Renee Spencer (Associate Professor) and Sarah Garlington (doctoral student) for excellent past management of SWRnet and to Lena Lundgren (Associate Dean for Research and Professor) and Kasey Wilson (doctoral student) for maintaining our strong tradition in this area in current management of this nationwide service.

Hyeouk Hahm (Associate Professor) was also inducted into the 2015 class of Fellows of the Society for Social Work and Research during the Plenary Session. Fellows are members who have served with distinction to advance, disseminate, and translate research that addresses issues of social work practice and policy and promotes a diverse, equitable and just society. The Fellowship honors current SSWR members for their individual accomplishments, leadership and contribution to SSWR as a scientific society. Congratulations!
