All SSW students are invited to participate in a student-led workshop to learn more about the Association of Social Work Boards' (ASWB) Masters exam. The purpose of the workshop will be to develop test-taking strategies to successfully pass the Masters exam. As many states have different policies, it is important to know their specific licensure requirements. The workshop will go over test-taking tips for the Masters exam and not specific state-by-state licensure requirements.
All students are welcome to attend.
The first workshop will take place this Saturday, July 23 from 11 a.m. to Noon
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP by contacting Jaleesa Myers at jmyers@smith.edu.
