Please help us honor key members of the GSSW community by nominating a GSSW graduate for one of the following Alumni Association Awards for 2013. The awards will be presented at the Colorado Social Work Month Celebration to be held in the spring of 2014:
GSSW Service Award—This award is presented to a GSSW graduate who has contributed to, or served, the Graduate School of Social Work in a noteworthy and significant fashion, through personal effort and/or financial contribution.
Community Service Award—This award is presented to a GSSW graduate who has demonstrated significant and continuous volunteer involvement in major community activities and/or charitable causes, above and beyond his/her employed position.
Robert L. Hawkins Social Work Achievement Award—This award is presented to a GSSW graduate who has demonstrated professional achievement by being named executive director, manager, chairperson of the board, or to a similar leadership position within a social work agency or organization; or by reaching a level of prominence in education, practice, politics or another type of service; or by receiving national recognition in the field of social work. The award is named in honor of Robert L. Hawkins, MSW '67, who rose through the ranks at Colorado Psychiatric Institute in Pueblo, eventually becoming the first social worker appointed as its Superintendent. Under Hawkins' leadership, the Institute became a model psychiatric treatment facility.
