style='font-weight:bold'>Patsy Boshears</span></b> has agreed to step in as the
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>BSW Director</span></b> beginning in the Fall
semester, filling the vacancy left by Dr. Hugh Clark. Patsy has been on our
faculty since 2002 and has taught extensively in our BSW program. She is
familiar with our curriculum and our students, and yet she brings a fresh perspective
to continue to enhance the quality of the program. I look forward to having
Patsy assume this important role in our department. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Dr. Clark was scheduled to teach two sections of BSW Social
Welfare Policy in the fall semester. I have taught those classes in the past
(and loved teaching them!) so I will be teaching these in the fall. I look
forward to getting to know the incoming Juniors – I’ve heard such
good things about you, I can hardly wait! And, I’ll do my best to make
the Policy class enjoyable </span></font><font size=2 face=Wingdings><span
