People

All of the offices for the faculty and staff of the MSW Program are housed on the Lincoln Park Campus.  People involved in the Program are: a Director, Coordinator(s), Faculty, the Program Assistant, Graduate Assistant(s), and (temporary) student workers.  All full-time program faculty have earned the MSW degree and most have earned doctoral degrees as well.

While all faculty serve as resources, each student is assigned a faculty advisor upon admission to serve as a resource for academic and professional advising throughout the student's tenure in the program.  Advising is only carried out by full-time faculty.  Individual faculty serve as the instructors of record and are responsible for creating assignments and learning opportunities and evaluating students enrolled in their assigned courses.

On occasion the MSW Program employs adjunct or part-time faculty who are generally hired to teach up to two courses or who have special expertise not present in the compliment of the full-time faculty.  All faculty are evaluated on their teaching effectiveness, depth of professional knowledge, and contributions to student learning in each course taught.  All full-time faculty are reviewed formally and informally on an annual basis with the MSW Statement of Faculty Evaluation serving as a the guide for faculty reviews.
