Invitation to be part of working group of a GPSS Ad-Hoc committee for Fee-Based Programs

A lot of programs are fee based programs, or are being transitioned into fee based programs. As this is a unique graduate school experience,­ there has been interest in talking about issues of fee base program. A couple years ago there was a trend to turn state base programs to fee based programs, and programs would just transition to fee base without any specific criteria. There should be criteria for creating fee base programs and the task of this committee is to draw up guidelines for this.

If you are in a fee-based program and are interested in joining the committee, please email me: meixi@uw.edu

Thank you,

Meixi Ng and your GPSS Senators

Just a reminder that if you’re graduating soon, you might want to sign up for our optional email list to receive information about available jobs in the social work field.

To sign up, go to:  http://mailman13.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/sswjobs

Additionally, we have other job resources for you at:

http://socialwork.uw.edu/students/career-resources

If you do sign up for the sswjobs email list, we would suggest that you consider setting up a folder to receive them and a filter/rule to send all of the announcements to that folder in order to manage the inflow of messages, because there will be a lot of them, but it’s a good resource if you want to get a head start on job hunting.

Good luck!
