Centers & Initiatives

CSWE houses two Institutes and a Center which strive to strengthen and improve specific areas of social work education through faculty and student training, policy, and data collection.

• The Katherine A. Kendall Institute for International Social Work Education works to prepare educators, researchers, students, and practitioners for an increasingly global community.
• The CSWE Leadership Institute was designed to promote future leaders in social work education, higher education, and the social work profession.
• The CSWE Gero-Ed Center prepares social work faculty and student leaders with the knowledge and skills to enhance the health and well-being of older adults and their families.
