Faculty members will design a formal procedure for dispersing funds to maximum resources and to establish a system of accountability with students. In the future, faculty will organize an interdisciplinary undergraduate research conference at Ohio University where students will present research papers and poster displays. Table 4 indicates how well the social work major helped graduates prepare for employment or graduate school. A comparison is presented between 1995 and 1996 graduates. The Committee members noted that department graduates were prepared for entry and mid-level positions in social services.
