California Social Work Hall of Distinction
- California Social Work Hall of Distinction
The California Social Work Hall of Distinction was established in 2002 to honor those involved in bringing about the betterment of society and to ensure that the contributions of social work leaders, innovators and pioneers would be recognized and preserved for the future.
The Hall of Distinction is located in the Montgomery Ross Fisher building on the campus of the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, California, and is maintained by the USC School of Social Work.
The California Social Work Hall of Distinction was established by the California Social Welfare Archives, a non-profit organization formed in 1979 to collect materials that chronicle the history and diversity of social welfare in California, with an emphasis on Southern California. Initiated by the University of Southern California School of Social Work, the Archives is creating access points to its historical database at social work schools and key social service agencies throughout the State of California.
Through 2006, there have been 44 honorees inducted into the California Social Work Hall of Distinction including Dana W. Bartlett, Emory Bogardus, Biddy Mason and Virginia Satir. A biography of eachhonoree is available on the California Social Work Hall of Distinction website.
