FALL, 2007

• SW400 Students: 
  Please accept my warmest welcome to the 
  Social Work Department, and
  congratulations on being admitted 
  to our fine program. In SW400, you will take
  your first steps toward becoming a licensed
  generalist social work practitioner. To begin 
  your pre-professional training, please read carefully 
  our course web page and familiarize yourself 
  with SW400 and all requirements. 
  Then, please read materials for 
  Units 1 & 2. Finally, please select a social agency
  that you want to study this term and visit the agency
  to get their general brochure and other reading 
  materials. We will use these the first two weeks of
  class. I look forward to meeting 
  each of you on August 27th, and working with you this semester
  in our study of empirical methods used in social work practice. (UPDATED: 30 April, 2007)
