"Carl A. Scott joined CSWE in 1968, a turbulent time in our country鈥檚 history, as a senior consultant on minority groups. He championed CSWE鈥檚 early efforts to promote human diversity in social work education by securing funding to recruit minority group students and faculty members. With initial funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, Scott single-handedly developed CSWE鈥檚 Minority Fellowship Programs, which are among CSWE鈥檚 most vibrant and highly regarded activities. Numerous former fellows now serve as deans, directors, and faculty members in schools and departments of social work.
"In recognition of Mr. Scott鈥檚 groundbreaking contributions to CSWE and the profession, the Carl A. Scott Memorial Fund was established to continue the legacy of equity and social justice in social work through building knowledge and furthering the well-being of individuals and their communities.
Bailey is dean emeritus at the GSSWSR and Special Assistant to the College President for Community Partnerships. She is also the director of the Social Justice Initiative."
