As we mark the end of the 2025 academic year, we could not be more proud of our students and their accomplishments. In May, GSS graduated over 300 world-changers who are well-prepared to meet society’s needs with skill and compassion. We know our dedicated alumni working tirelessly on the frontlines will guide and support them as they begin their professional careers. That is what the Fordham Ramily is all about.
This issue of The Social Worker celebrates both our 2025 graduates’ accomplishments and all the exciting endeavors for the year ahead. One example: GSS is the first school of social work to partner with the Audacia Foundation in launching the Career Pathways Training Program (CPT), designed to address the growing demand for health and mental health professionals by eliminating financial obstacles for New Yorkers pursuing a professional education.
The program will enable GSS to offer 100 students the ability to pursue their M.S.W. degrees at no cost—including tuition, fees, and books! It is truly one of the most impactful collaborations in our school’s history. The CPT program will increase Fordham’s ability to support students who might otherwise be unable to pursue a social work degree while also supporting New York service providers in great need of additional skilled and committed practitioners.
We hope the stories in this magazine inspire and uplift our community, as they have us!
