Dear SSW Community,

You are invited to a special community gathering and art walk organizing for housing justice sponsored by the Tent City Collective, Huskies for Housing, Health Advocacy for Care & Kindness, UW School of Social Work and UW School of Public Health.

Enjoy food and art, create community connections, and better understand the root causes of homelessness in Seattle in the first floor Gallery at the School of Social Work on Thursday, June 1 from 4:30-7:30 pm.

 For more information and to RSVP, please see the flyer below.

“UW Theses and Dissertations” will be held online on Thursday, May 25, from 2-3pm. For many students, the thesis or dissertation represents one of their first forays into publicly disseminating the products of their scholarship. This webinar will give an overview of the copyright and publishing issues students should consider, and demonstrate how their decisions are reflected in the ETDAdministrator system. It will offer the opportunity for students to think through their options for how and when to share their work, and to ask questions about the process.

Please register here to receive an invitation with the zoom information.

For those students who are unable to attend this session, we do have two asynchronous resources:

• A recorded version of the quarterly UW Theses and Dissertations Workshop, and
• A self-guided canvas course, Electronic Theses and Dissertations with UW Libraries

As always, my department is also very happy to answer individual questions from students; they can contact me directly or email uwlib-etds@uw.edu.

A strong applicant will have training in and experience in supporting perinatal individuals and at least some of the following modalities – CBT, DBT, IPT – and an evidenced-based trauma treatment (such as CPT, PE, or EMDR), as well as a wide range of clinical skills to treat common experiences of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, acute and/or chronic trauma.
