  • 1.  Buffalo, NY – MSW Practicum Placement Needed for Fall 2026

    Posted 11 days ago

    Hi everyone,

    I'm reaching out to see if any Field/Practicum Directors may know of MSW practicum sites in the Buffalo, NY area that still have availability for a first-year (Generalist) MSW student for Fall 2026.

    We have a student in the Buffalo area who is still seeking a placement, and I would greatly appreciate any leads, contacts, or organizations you might recommend.

    Thank you so much for any connections or suggestions!

    Susan McKee, LMSW
    Director of Practicum Education
