February 6, 2009 - Social Work Career Day: Career Day is a full day of information about social work. The morning portion includes presentations for Prospective students on social work as a career, MSW coursework, field practicums, admissions and a faculty panel.
There is an optional luncheon with social work agency representatives, current MSW students, prospective MSW students, Division of social work faculty and staff, and campus representatives.
In the afternoon, approximately 35 Social Work Agencies will be available in a Career Fair format to discuss opportunities for field placements and/or careers in their organizations. There will be many opportunities for informal discussions and question/answer time throughout the day.
