A WELCOMING STUDENT COMMUNITY

Community is more than just a commitment; it’s at the very core of SP2.

Now and throughout our history, the School of Social Policy & Practice has been dedicated to fairness, enhancing the social good, and making our world a better place through practice, policy and research.

Our students, from an array of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, embody these values in both theory and practice. They bring them to life every day by engaging in innovative policy and research, doing work that makes a real difference here in Philadelphia and beyond.
