All new MSW students are assigned to a pod, led by one current Silver student called an Orientation Leader (OL). Your POD is home base — it's a network of support during orientation and beyond! PODs are a brave space where you can ask questions openly, process orientation content together, and most importantly, develop community care practices for how we hope to show up for one another beyond orientation. Your pod assignment will be sent to you via email.
New MSW students are highly encouraged to meet their OL and fellow pod group members during lunch break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM and from 4:15 PM - 5:00 PM on Wednesday August 24, 2022. This will be an informal way to meet new people before the first day of classes! Please read the information below for more information on your pod meet up location and directions!
