5th Annual MSW RA Scholar PhD Program Information Session
On April 25th, the 5th annual MSW RA Scholar PhD Program Information Session was held. This annual event was initiated in 2013 by Dr. Bethany Lee and has continued under the direction of Dr. Melissa Smith. The purpose of the event is to share information regarding doctoral education to MSW RA Scholars. RA Scholars are a select group of MSW students who serve as research assistants to faculty members. The event provides an opportunity for the RA Scholars to learn about the PhD application process, courses, timeline, and other relevant information from current PhD students. PhD student Mary Hodorowicz facilitated the event, sharing her story about becoming an MSW RA Scholar for Dean Barth in 2006/2007 to then entering the PhD program in 2012.
The PhD panel of students also included PhD Candidates Anusha Chatterjee and Lisa Fedina, and students John Cosgrove and Katherine Endy. PhD Program Co-Director Dr. Charlotte Bright and Program Academic Services Specialist Jen Canapp were also present to answer questions about the program.
