Help shape the next generation of social workers!
We are always looking for new Field Sites to join us in supporting the future of social work in Hawaiʻi.
“I love being a Field Instructor! My students are eager to delve into new experiences and even question things that they are seeing and learning about – enhancing those critical thinking skills! It’s refreshing and exciting to be a mentor and to see the growth of these students before my very eyes! They teach me as much as I may teach them, and I am grateful.”
– Christy MacPherson, LCSW, Field Instructor since 2007
