Yesterday’s Grad Fair was a huge success and we had many students from many different disciplines come talk to us about our MSW program.  Because of this, I wanted to forward an informational flier about our upcoming MSW open houses.  We will be having one on October 9th and November 1st.  Please send this Open House Flier to anyone that you feel may benefit from it.  And as always, let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns that I may be able to help with.  Have a great day!
