The Smith College School for Social Work (SSW) announces the launch of a new student blog! "Dispatches" will follow five students in the SSW Master's program, as they complete 9-month field placements in locations around the country.
"Field work is at the heart of the student experience at the School for Social Work," said Dr. Marianne Yoshioka, dean of Smith College School for Social Work. "This new platform allows prospective students--and members of the Smith College community--an insider's view into the M.S.W. field experience."
The School for Social Work graduate programs are built around a unique block plan, with students off-campus for 9 months at a time between intensive summer session at Smith College. The new blog will allow a peek into the active learning that takes place for students from September through April, when M.S.W. students are working closely with clinical supervisors and faculty field advisors.
"'Dispatches' will showcase the variety of experiences students have in the field and the growth those experiences inspire over the course of a year," said Dr. Irene Rodriguez Martin, the associate dean for graduate enrollment and administration at SSW.
The new SSW student blog features five M.S.W. students from a variety of backgrounds, in their first or second field placements in locations from Greenfield, Massachusetts, to Venice, California.
