Showing events starting from October 1, 2014 up to October 31, 2014

October 23, 2014 - 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET

This event will give Juniors and Seniors applying to the MSW program a chance to meet with current MSW students who have been trained by SSW to answer questions about the supplementary statement. MSW students will be there for you to bounce ideas off of or get some comments on language or your ideas on which track you are interested in. This event will be a chance for you to meet with students who understand the language of the profession and can help streamline your thoughts around how to approach the essay. 

You will have 20 minutes with an MSW student to use how you'd like. Last year, the majority of students came in with ideas or outlines- don't feel pressured to have a complete draft prepared. We do ask that you have looked at the essay questions prior to your appointment so the 20 minutes can be used most effectively toward honing in on your actual questions and ideas.

Please note, this event is only open to declared CASC minors who are interested in the preferred admissions program.

Over the next decade, a leadership gap is predicted in the nonprofit sector.  By 2016, it is estimated that these organizations will need to recruit and develop almost 80,000 new high-level managers each year.  While social workers can be highly effective leaders (e.g., managers, directors, administrators) of nonprofit organizations, many overlook these opportunities since the majority of their training and experience has been providing direct services.  Those who do transition often have important skill or knowledge deficits that limit their success.  Based on recommendations from the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance, this highly interactive workshop will provide professionals with an understanding of the core skills needed to transition into leadership positions. This Continuing Education course is appropriate for professionals who have recently been promoted into management roles, or who are interested in making this transition.
