Video Transcript

Hello everyone, my name is Barb Hiltz and I am the faculty Director of the Online MSW Program here at the University of Michigan. I use the pronouns she and her. I'm excited to welcome you to the University of Michigan School of Social Work.

My role here is to design and build and to oversee our Online MSW Program. And also, to make sure that you, our students, are having a positive learning experience. So with that, I'm available to answer your questions and support you, once you're fully enrolled into our online program, related to really lots of aspects for your experience here at the School of Social Work. I want to make sure that you're feeling well connected to the resources that you need and that you're adjusting well to the program and to the curriculum.

You're going to be assigned a faculty advisor and that would be a great person to connect with over maybe more simple advising questions and also things like career and professional questions that you might have. And then, I can help you with the more technical questions. Things like, course substitutions or maybe you want to take a class out of the sequence that is listed on your course planning worksheet. Basically, that means that I can help you with any of those more complex, technical advising questions. And I'm here to support you regarding any barriers that you might face, or even feedback that you might have for us about your experience here in the online program. So with that, you are more than welcome to contact me. You can reach out by email and we'll just schedule an appointment.

I look forward to meeting you all really soon! Again, welcome to the University of Michigan and, of course, Go Blue!
