As a regional and national center for social work education and scholarship, the School seeks to create forums that bring together scholars, students, practitioners, policy experts, government and community representatives and other leaders for dialogue on critical trends and issues in social work and social welfare. In academic year 1999-2000, the School launched its first projects under this leadership initiative. The Distinguished Practitioner Lecture Series, coordinated by Liz Roberts, brings outstanding local and regional social workers to the School to speak on critical practice issues. The series is sponsored by the School's Practicum Advisory Council and co-sponsored by the Washington State Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, with support from the Dean's Office. Approximately 30 practitioners, students, and faculty members attended the Lecture.
Plans are underway for next year's Lecture Series.
Assessment and planning will commence in summer quarter 2000. Documents SW Library Tacoma Campus Tuition and Financial Aid Info.
