The Washington State Society for Clinical Social Work is accepting submissions for their annual student paper award. As many of you are writing your final papers for the quarter, this may be a good time to consider submitting something that you’ve written recently that you are proud of. In addition to recognition for your good work, it’s also a nice way to share an area of interest with fellow clinical social workers in the field.

Below are the details from the WSSCSW website:

Papers will be reviewed and scored by volunteer WSSCSW readers. The two strongest papers submitted we are offering a 1 year membership to WSSCSW,1 year free entry to all Professional Development events, plus publication of their papers on the WSSCSW website. Winners will be acknowledged at the WSSCSW annual party.

Entries must be directly relevant to clinical social work practice. Your paper or project can (and probably should) be a paper or project you wrote for a class. You can edit for brevity.

Paper should be in double-spaced 12 point font, no more than 10 pages long, and must conform to APA formatting standards.

Due April 30, 2020

We are inviting students from all health sciences departments to share their writing and art in our upcoming Spring 2020 journal.

Each year, we in the Health Sciences schools select a Common Book that addresses social determinants of health and health inequities that will impact our students as they move on into their chosen healthcare professions.  Throughout the school year we host a series of lectures, panel discussions, and seminars focused on the topic of the book, and which encourage interprofessional community engagement and activism.

In preparation for the coming year, we would like to gather your recommendations for the 2020-2021 Common Book.  Please fill out the survey here. 

This survey is open to all members of our health sciences community, please feel free to forward this email.

Hello Social Work Family,

This year’s t-shirt sale will be strictly online.

In past years, OSSW has tabled, allowing people to buy shirts in person at the school.

In order to have a variety of products and take pressure off of the students directing the sale, we have switched to online sales!

We at OSSW hope that the multiple shipping options offered will make this sale accessible for everyone. Supporters will have the choice of picking up their purchases at the School of Social Work or having them mailed directly to you!

Call for nominations for the 2020 Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award. Named for the late Graduate School Dean Marsha L. Landolt, the award has recognized excellent faculty mentors annually since 1999.

We are especially interested in generating a diverse group of nominations, including nominations of faculty members who are women, or from underrepresented minority groups, or with disabilities.

Complete information on this year’s nomination procedures and guidelines is available below. Questions about the Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award or nomination procedures may be directed to graddean@uw.edu.

Complete nomination packets must be received by 5 p.m. PST, January 8, 2020; no exceptions to this deadline will be granted.

The Graduate School, with assistance from the President’s Office, sponsors this annual award in order to recognize outstanding mentoring of graduate students by faculty. The relationship between a graduate student and a faculty advisor is one that can have a profound, lifelong influence on both parties. At its best, this mentoring relationship inspires and gives confidence to the student while providing the faculty member with a valued colleague. The Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award allows us to honor those members of the faculty who exemplify excellence in graduate education. A single award, accompanied by $5,000 in discretionary funds that may be used to support the awardee’s scholarly activities, will be given and presented at the annual Awards of Excellence Ceremony in June 2020 in conjunction with other University-wide awards.
