Carl A. Scott joined CSWE in 1968, a turbulent time in our country’s history, as a senior consultant on minority groups. He championed CSWE’s early efforts to promote human diversity in social work education by securing funding to recruit minority group students and faculty. With initial funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, Scott single-handedly developed CSWE’s Minority Fellowship Programs, which are among CSWE’s most vibrant and highly regarded activities. Numerous former fellows now serve as deans, directors, and faculty members in schools and departments of social work.
In recognition of Mr. Scott’s ground-breaking contributions to CSWE and the profession, the Carl A. Scott Memorial Fund was established to continue the legacy of equity and social justice in social work, through building knowledge and furthering the well-being of individuals and their communities. This fund sponsors the annual lecture series. This year’s lecture will be given at the APM in Denver, Colorado. Nominees should be individuals who contribute to inclusive excellence in social work education. Selection is based on each nominee’s body of scholarly work, which should demonstrate
- accomplishments consistent with the values of social work education, research, and practice;

- a seminal contribution to human rights in social work education and/or practice;
- attention to critical issues of our time; and
- demonstrate a connection to the conference theme, Leading Critical Conversations on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
The CSWE Commission on Diversity and Social and Economic Justice (CDSEJ) will review all submissions. Self-nomination will also be accepted. Conference registration, transportation, and a 2-night hotel stay will be provided for the presenter, along with a $1,000 speaking honorarium and a plaque.
