The Great Debate: AFTERMATH

Dozens of students turned out to the MSW Advanced Year Curriculum meetings last Thursday and Friday. Simply awesome. We along with Dr. Faul believe that your concerns are finally being heard by all faculty members and many changes will be coming for the next year. Dr. Faul will be sending out a document to all students highlighting the outcomes of those meetings. Great job!

However, there were few ideas as to how things can get better for us THIS year. This is the tougher question as we are virtually halfway through the semester already. Focusing on what we can realistically change, what do you think can/should be done? Several faculty members have approached me with this very question and so here is your chance (once again!) to be heard. Do we hold another meeting to discuss this? CAN anything be done? Sound off!

What do you want from us?!?!

Great feedback from our picnic at the zoo! We talked a lot about how we can better engage you and to get more of you to particpate. Are we promoting the right events? Do we need to have open KSSA meetings in which all students can come on a regular basis? What does a social work student council really exist for? WE WANT YOU TO TELL US WHAT YOU WANT!

At the zoo, people said we should:

- Promote more social justice activities (rallying, lobbying, picketing, etc)

- Get faculty involved in making classroom announcements

- Work to break down the walls that exist between degree programs

(MSW,BSW, Phd, etc) to facilitate a community of social workers

Great ideas...but what do you people who were not able to come to picnic think?
