Philanthropy Education Program (PEP)
PEP seeks to help BSW and MSSW students feel comfortable and competent speaking about philanthropy and taking on development roles such as fundraising, donor cultivation and event planning.
Sponsored by the Steve Hicks’ Development Office, this is a yearlong learning experience during which students have multiple opportunities to acquire philanthropy-related skills and engage with the development team, Steve Hicks faculty, staff, alumni and donors.
