Bachelor of Social Work

We are social work scholars and practitioners who embrace social justice, equity, and interdependence, and honour the distinct socio-cultural and geo-political context in which we are located. We deeply respect the Secwépemc Nation and are committed to upholding their teachings, while also walking beside and honouring all ways of knowing, being, and doing. We recognize the injustices in the world; this propels us to act, not only by witnessing the differential impacts on people and communities, but also by drawing on our social locations to advocate for social, economic, and climate justice in all our spheres of influence.

For those who choose to become part of our learning community, we will honour who you are and the wisdom you bring. We will assist you to become globally minded and locally rooted with an appreciation for the ways in which social workers can transform society. We will support you to be vulnerable and to engage in dialogue as a means of transforming yourself and the world in which we live. In entering a circle together, we commit to accountability to one another and finding ways to renew ourselves and create change.
