Beginning in 2007, and starting in Thailand, students can complete field work internationally. This first foray into international social work builds on work done by Catherine Nye, Ph.D., who worked as a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Southeast Asia in 2000-2001. She has collaborated extensively with educators, social service providers, and religious leaders in Thailand in subsequent years and has negotiated a relationship for Smith with Chiang Mai University. The internship includes low-cost housing, mentorship, and supervised clinical training (services are provided in English). The School's curriculum has also expanded to help prepare students for training in new cultural settings. |
