Social Work Orientation

The Center for Social Work Education hosted a new event this year to welcome its new BSW, MSW, and Ph.D. students to campus. Students had an early opportunity to build relationships with their peers and the social work faculty and staff.

A group of about 120 new students, 25 returning students, and 18 faculty members joined Dr. Marcine Pickron-Davis, chief community engagement and diversity officer, and Chester residents for a trash clean-up around the Sun Hill neighborhood.
