Student Comments

“Field was a great experience. On a daily basis I had to apply ALL of the skills and knowledge that  I learned in the Social Work curriculum. The field instructors pushed me to my limit everyday.  I learned to work out of my comfort zone and was able to accomplish tremendous things! The field experience was very challanging and helped me prepare for the social work practice yet to come. I did not know what Social Work really was until I completed my field experience!"               Jason Josupait, B.S.W.

"Field education was easily the best, most meaningful learning experience I had while at  Southeast. Not to say it wasn’t challenging - it was. But most rewarding experiences are. It was a great opportunity to practice and examine the skills I had acquired in the social work  program in a real-world setting. I feel like the field education was invaluable in terms of preparing me for a career in generalist social work practice. Because of field education, I was much more comfortable when I started work after graduation.”           Damon Crucani, B.S.W.
