Where do I begin?

Below is a "Field To-Do List," which you can review to ensure you aren't missing anything.

Please read all emails sent by the Field Office or your Field Coordinator!

Be open to the field experience and all it offers! Field is a great time to learn about new services, gain experience with new populations, and put theory into practice! All our field sites will provide an excellent educational experience and introduction to the social work profession.
