Advising Team Updates

June 2023

Hello MSW Students!

Summer is officially here! We hope that you are enjoying the warmer/sunnier weather, and that the semester is off to a good start!

It was so nice to meet those of you in the 2023 Advanced Standing cohorts at Orientation! We hope that you found the time together helpful, supportive, and useful as you get going in programming. Remember to check/reference the D2L page. It has a lot of great information.

2023 Regular students – we are excited to connect at Orientation on August 14! Details will be coming a bit later this Summer.

For everyone

Link to Fall 2023 Courses

The Graduate Office Advising Team is taking a break from the Advisor check-ins for the Summer. But, we will be resuming them in the Fall.

We will share the dates/times and Zoom link as it gets closer.

Although we are taking a break from the check-ins, we are NOT taking a break from our work! The Advising Team IS working through the Summer, and happy to help!

Our in-office days are sporadic; email is the best way to reach out!

In Closing

We wish you the best as you get started in, continue on in, or prepare for the program! We hope you have a great Summer!

Amongst the business of life, don’t forget to take care of yourself! “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a Summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” – John Lubbock
