Historic Gift Presented to USC School of Social Work

Social work pioneer—and two-time USC alumna—Suzanne Dworak-Peck has given an historic $60 million gift to USC. Her gift will endow and name the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work.

Her exceptionally generous gift cements the school’s standing among the discipline’s most innovative institutions, and will significantly bolster its profoundly important work in our communities.

Dworak-Peck’s gift is one of the largest contributions from an individual to a school of its kind. You will find the announcement with additional details here.

Dworak-Peck’s magnificent generosity to USC, and her visionary leadership in the field of social work is helping to build a singular legacy, one that will better the lives of generations of individuals throughout the world
