2025-2026 Advisors Shaping the Future of UNT's Social Work Program

Professionals from a number of local agencies and organizations serve as advisors to our Social Work program. They make suggestions on curriculum, instruct and guide students in field placements, and are a valuable source of information on trends in various practice areas of social work. Many members of the Advisory Council are UNT alumni. We appreciate the support of our Advisory Council members in helping UNT Social Work students make a real impact in the lives of others.
