Greetings everyone!
I wish I could have attended NADD at APM this year. But I want to share an opportunity at the University of St. Thomas. Do you have some academic administrative experience (such as BSW or MSW program director) and perhaps want to join our team? We are looking for an MSW Program Director in a tenure-line position. Here's the link: MSW Program Director position, Univ St. Thomas.
We have a great MSW program that is under some exciting transformations. We are embedding environmental justice, anti-oppressive, and integrative behavioral health into its interprofessional MSW program. We have a brand-new building with state-of-the-art technology and equipment. But the best part, in my opinion, is that our faculty and staff are wonderful. We all get along, support and encourage each other, collaborate a lot, and are generally enthusiastic. I feel so lucky to be the director of a social work school in which I genuinely like every single person who works here.
If you like interprofessional collaborations, our college of health includes social work (BSW, MSW, DSW), Graduate Counseling Psychology, Nursing, Health and Exercise Science, and Public Health. Our Interprofessional Center offers free clinic services (and provides field placements for students) in social work, psychology, and law. Below is the more official summary.
Check the link above for details, but here's a brief summary:
Tenure-line position offered at Assistant or Associate Professor level, MSW Program Director
