Anyone know anyone who is a male student at UW??? One of our local DMD families has a son who is a freshman there this year and is need of help. Looks like an awesome opportunity for a student at UW. An opportunity to 1.) help someone 2). earn a little extra $ 3). FREE ROOM at UW!! The following is his post ” We are looking for PCA’s for college. Carl is living in Lander Hall at UW Seattle. While we have some spots identified we still need overnight PCA’s and maybe one more for the day. We have advertised on Husky jobs and the nursing, PT, OT departments. A great fit would be if anyone knows a UW student that would like free room on campus. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks”.  Please contact Jim Dunlap (Dad) for more info or if you’re interested.  Email is jimdunlap@comcast.net, 206-200-1643.

It’s time to submit your application for conference funding! In an effort to support students in learning and sharing new ideas, the MSW Program provides students with funding to attend a conference. The funding aims to support student participation in conferences that achieve the following:

• Furthers educational and professional goals
• Enhances and supplements the MSW curriculum
• Upholds the School of Social Work’s mission and values

Application rounds will be now be offered three times a year. Day and EDP students can apply using the same link. This funding enables students to attend and travel to conferences that might not otherwise be accessible or feasible for financial reasons.  The deadline is MONDAY, OCTOBER 17 at 5PM!

APPLY HERE!

Please read the application material carefully and email bilenm@uw.edu with any questions!

Best,

Bilen Million

 

Note from Lin, Director of Student Services at SSW: The COPHP program is a fee-based program similar to our EDP program and, being so, the costs for tuition for that program are separate from the tuition our MSW students pay, so ends up costing both EDP and DAY students quite a bit more.  Our MSW students are much more likely to be able to do the MPH program, but it would be quite a bit more expensive for EDP students to do concurrently.  MPH program’s best match is the MSW Day program.  After attending the info meeting on 10/26 and if you’re still interested, email me and I can point you in the right direction.

The Carlson Leadership and Public Service Center and the Husky Leadership Initiative are seeking a graduate student with an interest in developing leadership education content for students involved in paid internships and volunteer work that is rooted in communities and focused on social justice.

As part of the Center for Experiential Learning & Diversity, located in Undergraduate Academic Affairs, the Carlson Center develops service-learning, community-based participatory research, and leadership opportunities for UW students that sustain reciprocal partnerships, deepen learning and contribute to our greater community.

Through cross-campus collaboration, the Husky Leadership Initiative (also located in Undergraduate Academic Affairs) facilitates, deepens and expands student leadership education opportunities at the UW both in and outside the classroom.

Pol S 405B – Immigration Politics and Policy
Instructor: Sophia Jordán Wallace
MW 9:30am – 11:20am
Parrington Hall 206

This course explores the history of immigration in the U.S., public policy that has been aimed at immigration flows or immigrants, and political consequences that resulted. Immigration policy is a highly salient and controversial issue in the current political landscape. This course will grapple with notions of citizenship and ‘illegality’ while examining backlash to demographic changes. Rhetoric on immigration is increasingly divisive and has caused differing reactions among various groups of people and voters. A considerable portion of the course will address social movement responses such as the 2006 protests. Legislation aimed at immigrants such as Arizona’s SB1070, DREAM Act and Proposition 187 in addition to other local, state, and federal measures will also be explored at length. Finally, this course will examine undocumented immigration, dynamics on the border, and the politics of policing and immigrant detention.

This course will draw on scholarly work from a variety of fields including Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Latino Studies, and Ethnic Studies. It will also actively engage current events including discussions of hunger strikes in detention facilities and the framing and role of immigration policy in the 2016 Election. We will watch films, such as Crossing Arizona and 9500 Liberty, and political campaign advertisements highlighting immigration. We will also examine political cartoons and media depictions of immigration.

For more information about the course, contact Prof. Sophia Jordán Wallace – sophiajw@uw.edu.

This is one of the few graduate student employee positions that our MSW students can get (because most others require 20 hours/week, M–F, which is usually incompatible with our practicum schedules).   Good luck!  – Lin

The University Honors Program <http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/> has an exciting opportunity to hire three graduate student admissions readers for Winter Quarter, 2017.

The University Honors rogram is an innovative and collaborative community engaged in rigorous interdisciplinary exploration. Students can pursue Honors as a general education track, as an in-depth program within their majors, or as a combination of the two. They may apply as new freshmen, at the end of their first year, or once they’ve selected a major. We prepare our students to ask and answer bold questions about the challenges facing our ever-changing world. Our students participate in small classes with faculty from across campus and work across the university, challenging themselves and each other to take intellectual risks and commit to conscious global citizenship.
