BSW Field News UNC Charlotte Dept. of Social Work College of Health and Human Service As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemak- ers are all people of integri- ty, of honesty, but humility. -Nelson Mandela Inside this issue: Introduction Information for BSW Students in 2014-2015 Placements Information for BSW Students in 2015-2016 Placements 2014 Fall I am excited to begin another year as Assistant Director of field Education at UNCC in the Social Work Depart- ment. My vision for the BSW field education program is to produce com- petent, professional, and innovative social workers. It is vital that social work students learn to practice the profession through active involve- ment, participating in experiences in which they can apply social work the- ory and ethics while learning the poli- cies that mold community and politi- cal decisions. Field education allows established social work professionals to challenge, support and guide stu- dents through reflection, conceptual- ization and integration of theory and practice. Our Senior BSW students are excited to be serving in a variety of practice settings and our BSW Juniors will soon begin to explore field placement options. BSW students are placed throughout the region. Our placement agencies this year include: Aldergate, Alexan- der Youth Network, Alzheimer’s Asso- ciation, Beyond Today, Buddy Kemp Cancer support Center, Cabarrus Partnership for Children, Carolina Refugee and Resettlement Center, Caromont Gaston Hospital, Commu- nities in Schools– Mecklenburg and Rowan counties, Daymark Recovery Services, DSS in Mecklenburg, Gas- ton, Cabarrus, CMC-Horizons, Easter Seals, Elon Homes, Florence Critte- ton, Family Preservation Services, Gaston Health Department, Gaston County Schools, Guardian Ad litem– Mecklenburg, Inner Vision, Mecklen- burg County Community Supports, , Latin American Coalition, Mecklen- burg Sherriff’s Department, Rowan Regional Medical Center, Southmin- ster, Timeout Youth, Union County Council on Aging, and Union County– Alliance for Children and Youth. I look forward to a rewarding year filled with professional and personal growth. Sincerely, Heather Douglas, MSW, LCSW Assistant Director of Field [email protected]704-687-7937 Welcome BSW Students
