Alumni

A growing network of change-makers.

Benefits

One of the benefits of attending the GSSW is that you will always be part of our family. Once you join the Touro family as a student, you’re always part of the Touro family! 

Here’s are some of the things we're already doing:

A Growing Network

We are 900 alumni strong. As we grow our alumni base, benefits, and programming, we want to make sure we continue to serve your professional needs as a social worker. It’s why we established the Alumni Association in 2016. Please let us know what activities and programming would benefit you!

As an alumnus, you  continue to play an important role in GSSW, helping to recruit future students; promoting a strong image of our school in the community; providing feedback on curricular matters; informing the school on trends and issues you see in the field; offering field placements and employment to graduates; mentoring other alumni and students; speaking or teaching at the school; helping to fundraise, and more. Please let us know how you would like to get involved!

The Alumni Association - led by the Alumni Leadership Council, comprised of four officers, working committees and a board of 50 fellow alumni from all class years – in addition to working on benefits to alumni and how alumni can contribute to the school, also works to promote the values of social work and social justice and to support the advancement of the profession of social work. Please share your thoughts and opportunities with us!

Ties That Bind

We are here for you. We firmly believe that alumni engagement is integral to the future of GSSW and we are working hard to strengthen those ties and maintain a network of active alumni.

As you go out and make big changes in the world, and individuals, we're still here for you as a resource. Be in touch, whether there's something we can help you with or just to let us know what you're up to and take pride in your accomplishments.
