Field Fair/Career Day

The Field Fair/Career Day marks the beginning of the field placement process and allows students the opportunity to meet with representatives from various human service organizations.  Students can learn about field placements and careers in social work.  This event is usually held in mid-February so that current students can begin the process of interviewing with potential field placement agencies in anticipation of the next academic year.

Field agencies will be sent the invitation and registration form in early December for this event.  Please feel free to contact the Field Education Office if you would like to attend.
