DSW student earns CSWE fellowship
February 19, 2026- Students
Current Doctor of Social Work (DSW) student Devon Hernandez oversaw the expansion of the Trojan Food Pantry on the University Park Campus, which serves a growing number of USC students facing food insecurity. Now, he has been selected as one of just 20 fellows nationwide for the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Doctoral Student Policy Fellowship. Through the two-year program, Hernandez will conduct policy-focused research, participate in national mentorship, and develop a policy brief centered on reducing economic inequality and strengthening systems that support student stability before crises arise.
