The IMASWS student organization was established as a group of diverse doctoral students at Arizona State University (ASU) School of Social Work seeking to support diverse and multicultural doctoral students in their academic pursuits. Our mission is to promote a culture of inclusivity where ethnically diverse doctoral students can thrive in partnership with the School of Social Work and with other ethnically diverse students enrolled in a PhD program at ASU. This is achieved by cultivating formal and informal connections to culturally relevant resources, such as faculty networks, to academic resources (scholarships, conferences, publications, organizations), and activities that promote social embeddedness within the school of social work and greater community.
