Showing events starting from May 4, 2019

April 22, 2024 - 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM ET

This session is for all incoming Fall 2024 On-Campus and Online MSW students. This webinar is specifically for students starting field in Fall 2024. All students starting field in Fall 2024 should plan to view this session. This webinar will help navigate the process of applying for a field placement.  The last 30 minutes of the session discusses specific information for students planning to apply for a school-based field placement.

Students admitted in Fall 2023 to a dual degree or Part-Time program should also watch this session, since you are scheduled to start field in Fall 2024.

Students admitted to the Fall 2024 Part Time On-Campus or Part-Time Online programs do NOT need to watch this session: you will be starting field 12-16 months after entering the program (depending on your part-time curriculum track).

Students that are being admitted into the MSW program in Fall 2024 but will not start field until W25, please plan to attend the virtual Introduction to Field Education Webinar on September 3, 2024 12p-130p EST.

Want to know what your colleagues are working on? 

Want to help them refine their research ideas?

Want to be more engaged and help build community?

Come to the Half-Baked Brown Bag lunch series. 

The associate dean for research is hosting a series for faculty and doctoral students to share their early stage ideas with peers for feedback. Come and contribute to a lively discussion that will benefit the research happening here at the School – it may even help shape how you think about your own work. 

The format will include a brief presentation from faculty members or doctoral students about their research. Each presentation will be approximately 15 minutes, followed by a 20-30 minute discussion. There will be two participants for each event.

To keep the discussions more cozy, space is limited to 20 attendees. Pizza and drinks are provided.

Join us for a timely discussion titled "Navigating Divides: Addressing the Clash Between Conservative Views, Faith, Traditions, and Modern Day Social Work Values." 

This conversation will focus on the challenges that social workers with conservative beliefs may face in an increasingly progressive field. We will explore how holding traditional religious or conservative views might impact perceptions of fit and effectiveness within the social work profession. This session is an opportunity to discuss the experiences of feeling excluded due to one's beliefs, the potential for bias, and strategies for navigating professional environments that may feel at odds with personal values.

This is a time for conversation – to share feelings and experiences and talk together as a community.

About the format: With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
