School of Social Work Hosts Open House

The Tulane School of Social Work will host its annual open house on Saturday (March 13) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in room 103 of the Social Work Building on the uptown campus.

Tulane faculty, staff, current students and alumni will be on hand to answer questions about academic programs and community outreach activities. Interested students and community members are encouraged to attend to find out what the school has to offer.

"This event gives the school a chance to introduce our program to potential students as well as the community," says Ron Marks, dean of the School of Social Work. "Potential students can meet with our faculty while community members can learn about our community-centered efforts such as our Center for Life-Long Learning and our students' field placements, which the public benefits from on a daily basis."

Information will be available about the following: master of social work program, part-time evening program, certificate in disaster mental health, certificate in international social work, dual degree programs with the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, dual degree programs with the School of Law, and financial aid and scholarships.
