The first Common Time of the fall semester is on Wednesday, October 16. SAAS has been working to put together two interesting workshops relevant to the day’s theme of connections in social work. There also is a aging specific workshop sponsored by the Office of Career Services. Information about these workshops is listed below. We would love to see a strong turnout for these workshops, as we feel that they focus on important topics within gerontological social work.
If you have any questions or concerns about these workshops, please email us at hcsaas at gmail dot com. We hope to see you there!
