As the 2012 spring semester began and SP2 students were returning to their busy schedules, a few students decided to arrive on campus a few days early to participate in a new workshop called A Day in the Life of a Social Worker. On January 5, 2012 the Field Education Office and the Office of Student Affairs invited twenty social workers from various areas of clinical and macro practice to network with first year MSW students. During the second semester of the first year, full time MSW students are required to choose a clinical or macro concentration for their advanced year of study in the program. The goal of the event was to help students gain a better understanding of the different aspect of the social work field. The event was structure similar to that of speed dating, where students were asked to choose five areas of practice out of eleven that they were most interested. The students were allowed 10 minutes at each table to talk about the day to day tasks that the social work professionals perform in their specific career. As the event concluded, we received immediate positive feedback from students and for us that meant that it was a successful event!
