Associate Professor and Program Director of Social Work at Ashland University, Jennifer Schulz, stopped by the WRDL Studios on Monday, November 4 to spotlight the new program on campus. According to Ashland.edu, “Field experience is integrated into every social work course. Students complete an agency observation, interview people who work in those agencies, interview individuals and families for specific assignments, visit a nursing home resident for a semester and attend support groups. Our department has excellent relationships with local agencies; they are eager to have our students as interns because the students are always so well prepared. Our internships are block placements so that students can be in their agencies full-time, rather than running between agency and classes.”
