  • 1.  Seeking connection to a former colleague, Janet Tyler (Cairn University)

    Hi folks,

    This is probably a strange question, but does anyone out there have any connections to a former field director colleague, Janet Tyler, from Cairn University? I believe she was the Field Director for Cairn University (formerly Philadelphia Biblical University) for some years (though it doesn't look like they have a Social Work Department anymore), and it looks like she retired in 2021.

    I believe she is the same person who got her PhD from Capella University in 2012 and wrote her dissertation on factors relating to disruption of BSW field placements. I'm exploring a similar theme for my dissertation and would love to connect with her about her research, but am unsure how to go about doing so.

    If anyone has this person as part of their network and could introduce me, I'd be very grateful!

    Thank you in advance for your consideration, and have a great weekend!

    Jean

    Hello Jean, 

    This might be a long shot, but have you thought about reaching out to Capella?  They may be able to get a hold of her through Alumni resources at the institution.  They may not be able to disclose her information to you, but you can share your information with them and ask them to pass it along.  Just a thought.  I hope the idea helps. Take care...Karen

    Hi Karen,
    That's a great thought, thank you! I was looking on their site to see if I could find the dissertation advisor and committee members listed on the dissertation (to no avail… 2012 feels like it was a million years ago!) but the alumni folks at Capella feels like maybe it could yield something. Thank you!
