Ways to Get Involved at SP2

We are honored that SP2 alumni continue to stay involved and engaged with the School following graduation. There are several ways to do so including the Dean’s Alumni Advisory Board and the Mentor Collective program.

Master of Social Work (MSW) Simulation Curriculum

Volunteers are welcome to participate in the fall or spring simulation that is part of the curriculum for the MSW program.

If you are interested in foundation and/or clinical practice simulations, please contact Kate Ledwith (kledwith@sp2.upenn.edu), Full-time Lecturer, MSW Program.

For macro practice simulations, please contact Mai Le (mtle@upenn.edu), Administrative Director, MSW Program.

Organizational Partners for Experiential Education

If you work for an organization that would like to be considered as an in-person or virtual site to host MSSP, MSW, and/or NPL students for their experiential education, please contact J Grant (grantj1@upenn.edu) Community-Engaged Professional Education Director.

Alumni Authors
