[swkcommunity] Agency Support

[Pamela Hammond]

The Texas A & M Commerce School of Social Work is seeking opportunities
to work with agencies to allow students to develop skills in research
and planning. Master of Social Work (MSW) students take SWK 590 and SWK
595 (these are research classes) designed to provide each student with
an experiential opportunity in designing a program or practice
evaluation or needs assessment. Each student gathers data (primary or
secondary), analyze and interpret results, and compose into a formal
paper based on their proposed project.  

 

To provide students with "real-world" opportunities in this process,
while benefiting a program or agency, we are seeking partners in this
endeavor.  We are looking for programs or agencies that have needs and
/or opportunities where students could develop, implement and carry out
some form of evaluation and we would like to work with you in providing
students with this experience. Currently approximately 10 students are
in need of this opportunity for this semester (Fall 2013) and to
continue with the project into next semester (Spring 2013).  

 

The agency role would be to provide students with either a direct
project or an indirect idea for a project and allow them access to some
form of data collection. While there may be varying degrees of
supervision the agency chooses to provide, no direct supervision by
agency staff is required. The students will be instructed in the
classroom setting regarding the methods for completing the assignment. 

 

We thank you for considering our request and look forward to working
with you and your agency.

 

Sincerely

 

Rebecca Judd Ph.D. , LMSW-IPR
