Dennis Miehls, Ph.D., L.I.C.S.W., Associate Professor; Chair, Human Behavior in the Social Environment Sequence Smith College School for Social Work. This lecture describes how relational theories of supervision and one aspect of contemporary trauma theory coalesce to offer a conceptual shift in supervision theory and practices. The lecture gives a brief overview of the concept of parallel process in supervision; then, a critique of this literature questions the universality of parallel processes in supervision. The characteristics of supervision, when framed in relationship theories, are offered. Last, the lecture describes how the understanding of trauma theory’s triadic self of victim-victimizer-bystander is a useful construct in understanding impasses in supervisory relationships. Supervisory vignettes are utilized to illustrate the theoretical constructs.
Thursday, June 5, 12:00 - 2:00 and 5:00 - 6:30 pm, Seelye Lawn, Rain location: Nielson Browsing Room.
Stop by the lawn between lunch and dinner breaks to check out the student groups that the Smith community has to offer. There will be representatives available to answer questions, share information, and take down your contact information. Smith student groups are a great opportunity to work with your passions and interests in life, maintain balance for your time here and meet others.
Friday, June 6, 12:00 - 1:30 pm, Cutter Living Room.
This year we will be meeting to discuss empirically based and learning style centered study habits and study groups - how they work and how to form them. Study habits can become rusty, if not used often, and can also be improved. Study groups may increase study effectiveness and efficiency while assisting with learning massive amounts of reading materials and assignments. Please join our group for a first meeting and bring along any potential study partners! Contact Professor David Burton at dlburton@email.smith.edu for more information.

The ARTF is composed of faculty, students and other members of the SSW community. The purpose of the ARTF is to propose initiatives and take action to further the anti-racism mission of the SSW. This includes, but is not limited to, campus-wide activities, exhibits, awareness-raising, training, dialogues and coalition building. The group is open to all members of the Smith community and works with other organizations on campus to coordinate anti-racism initiatives. Fred Newdom, Joan Lesser and Josh Miller are the faculty conveners, but leadership of the ARTF is shared with students. This is an open group and all are welcome to attend.
Wednesdays June 4-July 2, 7:00-9:00 pm, Seelye 101.
This year, pedagogy and diversity will offer some didactic content as well as providing the usual space to process what is going on in the classroom. Some of the possible areas of discussion are working with social identity in the classroom, microaggressions and how to respond to them, managing intragroup processes, use of self to further issues of diversity and ways of centralizing issues of diversity in all classes. Participants and the facilitators will together determine which topics will be covered. The series will build on this year's Spring Faculty meeting and the on-line course offered about successful teaching at an anti-racism school for social work, although it is not necessary to have participated in these events. The first semester seminars will be taught by Joshua Miller and Bertha Reynolds Fellow Edith Fraser.
Thursdays, 9:00 pm, Chase House Piano Living Room.
No agenda, just men- talking, listening, and supporting one another. All SSW men (msw, phd, faculty and staff) are invited and welcome.
We will be hiring student workers to help out with the 90th anniversary celebration.

As part of an overall college policy emphasizing sustainability, Smith has moved away from purchasing plastic water bottles and is encouraging all students, faculty and staff to bring a refillable water bottle to campus. In keeping with these efforts SSW has purchased stainless steel water bottles for the community, which were distributed at check in day. They are imprinted with the School’s name and the logo for our 90th anniversary celebration. Please use these bottles around campus to support this effort.

The following health care resources are available to students this summer.
The Neilson Library heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (HVAC) are undergoing a major upgrade and/or replacement this year. Unlike the first phase where most of the work was concentrated in the basement mechanical room and Alumnae Gym, the Phase 2 work is concentrated in the core building (the original building). Consequently the amount of noise and disruption will be much more apparent to the building occupants. Temperature control will also be affected and many spaces will run warm. Some tasks have been and will be scheduled off hours but for the most part the contractors will be working from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM Monday through Friday until the project is complete in January of 2009. Until then please be patient with the disruption this project will bring. When finished, occupants will experience improved indoor air quality, better temperature control, improved archival materials storage conditions and better lighting. The building performance in terms of energy consumption and maintenance frequency will also improve.
Here is a complete calender of SSW events this summer.
There is a lost and found bin in the SSW main office, Lilly Hall Room 101. Items can be retrieve from, or contributed to, the bin from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, M-F.
