I am looking for a research assistant to help me develop a book proposal (introduction/ two chapters) on psychodynamic practice with vulnerable and at risk clients.

Final summer students exit interview materials are at the campus mailboxes for you to pick up. Notices are in your campus boxes to pick up your packets. Please follow the directions and return the proper signed copies to the SSW Financial Aid Office in Lilly Hall. This is a requirement to graduate and receive your diploma. You will not be able to graduate until this is done.
Thank you, Gina Zaikowski.
We thought it would be nice to have a yearbook for the A'09 class when we graduate next year. Now we are looking for some people to head up the project! We have preliminary information and ideas that would keep the work down to a minimum. If this sounds like a good idea to you, please volunteer to help! Once established, the yearbook committee will decide together how it wants to proceed.
For more information contact Emy at efehmi@email.smith.edu.

The purpose of this thesis award is to recognize excellence in cross cultural family practice and theory. This award is about advancing Amith Ben-David's passions in the field of family therapy and will be awarded annually to a Master's thesis which advances her interests. Preferences will be given to theses which incorporate ideas from a postmodern perspective and/or those which are theoretical in nature.
Amith Ben-David has greatly contributed both to the field of Family Therapy and the Smith College School for Social Work community. The class of 1998 and the faculty have strongly felt the loss of her presence among us. Thus this award is not only a way to remember her, but also a means for continuing the work about which she felt so strongly. Nominees for this award were Sarah Bereczki, Kim Monson and Janet Saxe. The winner of the 2008 award is Sara Bereczki. Congratulations to all who were nominated.
The Eleanor Clark Thesis Prize will be awarded annually for a current Master's thesis advancing any of Mis Clark's several interests, which include: a) innovations in service deriving from knowledge about human functioning adn the social environment, b) creative attention to social needs, expecially in medical or psychiatric settings, and c) the education of professional social workers.
Eleanor Clark was the Director of Social Work Services at the Massachusetts General Hospital for many years. The Prize was established by her partner as a memorial for her service to her community and to the social work profession. Others have also contributed to the Prize as a way of honoring Ms. Clark's role in establishing a professional social work presence in medical social work.
Those nominated for the award this year were Elizabeth Burris, Corneila Friedman, Leslie Kilpatrick, Megan McKenna, Shannon Sennott, Joanna Vaughn and Brianne Goodman Carter. Congratulations to all who were nominated. The winner of this award will be announced at commencement.
This year the Joan Laird Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered Thesis Prize for 2008 is awarded to Molly Thomas. Her thesis is entitled: “Shades of Gray: Lesbian Therapists Explore the Complexities of Self Disclosure to Heterosexual Clients.” The committee appreciated all of the theses submitted, recognizes the importance of their topics, and learned from all of them. Though the decision was a hard one, Molly’s thesis was selected because she honored so well the complexity of the topic and her writing expressed so well the nuanced responses of her subjects. Congratulations Molly!

We have a beige suitcase full of childrens books, a cream hoodie found in seelye, and a green cap from St. Martin. These items can be found in SSW main office.
