The School of Social Work in the West Virginia University Eberly College of Arts and Sciences is accepting applications for the inaugural class of its PhD program.

WVU College of Law alumna Ellen Archibald contributed more than $200,000 to support social justice awards at the College of Law and Eberly College of Arts and Sciences

The Eberly College of Arts and Sciences has recognized 64 outstanding seniors, graduate teaching assistants and graduating Eberly Scholars for their academic achievements in 2020-2021.

West Virginia University student Matthew Witt knew early in his college career that he wanted to dedicate his life to helping people navigate through challenges.

Clendenin native Michelle Richmond arrived at WVU in fall 2017 with a lofty goal: to improve the human condition for all West Virginians. Eventually, that led her to social work. Richmond is working with Legal Aid of West Virginia on its strategic plan to improve statewide community access to legal services.

Meet social work student Kalynn Spaid.

Congratulations to our outstanding seniors and graduate assistants for 2019-2020!

A new WVU research collaborative is working to address the many challenging conditions facing the state and Appalachia. In the Eberly College's Interdisciplinary Research Collaborative for a Safe and Healthy Society, researchers from a wide range of disciplines are working together with partners across campus to seek solutions to these pressing issues.

With senior citizens making up nearly 20% of West Virginia’s population, one WVU student has committed her career to helping them transition from skilled nursing facilities back into the community. During her field placement at Mapleshire Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Master of Social Work student Heather Beeseck recognized that older clients needed access to more support services, especially when they were only temporarily in a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation.
