INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Barbara Solomon School of Social Work!
The namesake of Walden’s School of Social Work, Barbara Solomon, is a social work change agent. She developed a well-known theory to describe minority empowerment, changed perspectives on social work education, and is passionately dedicated to furthering the potential of social workers.
The power of social work to change lives for the better in the spirit of Dr. Solomon begins with practice. In this program, you will have the opportunity to develop practice skills on your journey to preparing for a career in the social work profession.
The potential that Dr. Solomon believes in is your potential. What has inspired you to reach that potential, to pursue a graduate degree in social work, and to strive to be a social change agent? This week, you reflect on these topics to set the stage for your efforts to make better the lives of those you serve.

Perhaps you or a family member have been helped by a service you didn’t even know existed, experiencing firsthand the transformative power of social work. Or, you may have looked at the community around you and felt a calling to do more.
