School earns award
UBC’s School of Social Work and Family Studies has earned an inaugural Distinguished
Service to Families Partnership Award from the B.C. Council for Families.
The council was established in 1987 to focus on contributions and achievements
which enhance family living in B.C.
Director Graham Riches says the award recognizes a commitment to building
on long traditions and strengths in teaching, research and community service
to make a unique contribution to the development of families, human well-being
and social welfare.
