History of the Social Work Program
Clarke University has a long history of providing Social Work Education which began in the 1960’s. It was the first Social Work Program in Dubuque, IA. A cooperative social work program began informally in 1969 and formally in 1973 when Clarke and the University of Dubuque partnered to offer a social work major. Loras College joined the partnership in 1975. In 19

95, as part of a self-study process, the Tri-College Social Work Program ended with the University of Dubuque withdrawing from the program. An application and self-study for reaffirmation as the Bi-College Program were submitted by Loras College and Clarke College and were accepted by the Council in 1995. On August 22, 2008, the President of Clarke College, Joanne Burrows, SC, Ph.D., announced that the bi-college affiliation between Clarke College and Loras College would continue through 2008-2009 academic year beyond which Clarke College would continue to independently offer its Social Work program beginning in the fall of 2009. This decision was based primarily on the need to integrate and assess the general education outcomes in the upper-division courses and to address the challenges associated with reconciling two different calendars. The decision was welcomed as an opportunity to set a new course in the delivery of the Social Work Program at Clarke University. It was determined that the program would be revised to strengthen its relationship to the mission of the university and to the community that it serves.

Who said finals week can't be fun?? Students in this semester's Issues in Social Work Practice course spent time learning about the personal, social, and societal experiences that are affected during the process of aging. This week, students enjoyed trying to make slime while navigating some simulated barriers their peers presented during their final class period. It was a fun, reflective, and MESSY way to round out a beautiful semester of learning 🎉
