We usually meet at the agencies instead of on campus. Janna, on the right, reviews the first grant she's ever written with her supervisor Carolyn Langan MSW, Vice President at Family Services Association. Placements are chosen by students with mentoring from the program's field coordinator. Eric and his supervisor Karen McKinney MSW, an addictions counselor, go over a case management plan. You don't have to be in Indy to complete your field practica.
Students often work in agencies closer to home or even in other countries such as North Ireland.
An end of the semester gathering for the practica students. We encourage mutual teaching and learning for both the juniors and seniors. Here a class celebrates with breakfast in a professor's home. When needed, we provide childcare. The association sponsors guest speakers from the practice community and is ready to help in emergencies.
