School of Social Work Alumni Board

Alumni from the University of Cincinnati School of Social Work first gathered on March 6, 2008 and established the mission and goals of the group later to be named the UC School of Social Work Alumni Board (SSWAB). As a constituent alumni group of the university, SSWAB participates in the CAHS Leadership Council and the UC Alumni Association Alumni Leadership Council. 

Our mission: to ​connect alumni, provide resources for members, and offer service to the school, the profession, and the community. In addition, SSWAB acts as an advisory arm to the Director of the School of Social Work and its faculty.

The Board engages with the college, alumni and students throughout the year:

  • Alumni Day and Hot Topic CE Trainings
  • Speed Mentoring
  • Selecting Distinguished Alumni and Ruth Clinton Excellence in Social Work Award honorees

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Board, please email Megan Buchheit, Program Director of Alumni & Donor Experience, to request an application.
