Recipients and Titles
The Day-Garrett Award, established in 1978, is presented annually to one person or more who have been outstanding contributors to professional social work and who have been significant members of the Smith College School for Social Work educational community. By a member of the Smith community, we mean former administrators, part and/or full time faculty, and graduates of the School.
The award is to be given to those who, in the judgment of the Committee, have personified in their lives and service to the community the high purpose of professional service for which the School is renowned. This can include publication, teaching, administration, direct service, innovative programming, and creation of policy.
The recipient is chosen by a presidential appointed Award Committee consisting of two members of the Board of Trustees, two alumni, two full time faculty members, two part time faculty members, and two field faculty representatives. The Committee will select its own chair.
Nominations must be postmarked by February 15, 2010.
