FIFSW’s 2025-2030 Academic Plan
Leading Transformative Change through Innovation, Education, and Collaboration
The Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto has firmly established itself as a national and global leader in social work education, research, and practice innovation.
Over the next five years, we intend to build on the Faculty’s success by addressing complex social problems, cultivating relationships, and building environments that will lead to impactful social change. This Academic Plan outlines the directions, values, and goals that will guide our efforts.
Our 2025-2030 academic plan represents an unwavering commitment to leading transformative change. We believe social work can drive progress toward truth and reconciliation, social justice, equity, and well-being for all. We invite you to join us in this achieving this goal.
“Central to our vision is the ongoing importance of collaboration — with our community partners, practitioners, clients and service users, other disciplines, and the broader community.”
— Charmaine C. Williams, Dean & Professor
