Professors Mike Vimont and Nancy Udolph attended the annual
program meeting for the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) held in Denver
on October 15th through the 18th. According to Dr. Vimont,
“attendance at this conference is essential in maintaining and enhancing our
program, and to learn about new accreditation guidelines.” This year was
particularly important due to new competency standards that were published
during the summer. “We discovered that as an institution, we will be among the
first to be evaluated under these new standards,” explained Dr. Vimont. “This
provides us with a challenge and yet also an opportunity. Once we go through
this process, other institutions of higher learning will be looking upon us for
guidance for their own upcoming accreditation.”
Plans are already underway in reviewing and making necessary
changes to curriculum to comply with these new standards. The social work
professors will be presenting information obtained from this conference to the
social work program’s advisory board at a meeting scheduled for November 20th.
