font-family:Arial'>Our CSWE Site Visit is over and the exit interview with the
site team indicated that our program is strong, our students are well-prepared,
our faculty are competent, and our field instructors are extremely committed! We
have two areas of the standards that will require a response: one is
related to clarification of the Advanced Generalist curriculum and the other is
more evidence of policy content in the MSW program. We are all very
pleased with the outcome of the re-accreditation visit. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Commission on Accreditation by mid-October, we will have two weeks after that to
submit a written response to their report, and then all goes before the CSWE
Board for approval in February 2009.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

process such a success, especially those who committed extra time to drive to
Commerce for prep meetings and to meet with the site visitors. The
faculty spent many, many hours over the past two years preparing for this
experience. We have a wonderful program and this process affirms our
efforts to educate future social work professionals – to quote Hillary
Clinton….”It takes a village”!! Thanks to you all!! </span></font><font
