🚨🚨 SWSA presents the END OF PLACEMENT PARTY!!!

Join us for a couple of hours of fun, to celebrate:
- your end of placement, or,
- a friend’s end of placement, or,
- a stranger’s end of placement

SWSA will provide some snacks😋. There will also be some games, decorations and music 💃🕺.

To all students who will not have finished placement by the 25th of June, to those who are starting placement soon, and to those who have not yet begun their placement journeys, we would still love to see you there 🫶!

It has definitely been five long months, and as such, this is the perfect time to celebrate everyone who has made it this far, and wish all who are yet to complete placement all the best for the last leg of the journey.

See you 🫵 then! 😁

Do you have questions about placement? 🧐🫵

The ADA WIL team, consisting of Robin Webb (Work Integrated Learning Officer), Martina Josephson (Work Integrated Learning Officer), and Danielle Colton (Work Integrated Learning Operations), are encouraging students to reach out to them on all your placement-related queries and concerns! 💭

The ADA WIL team values streamlining communication between staff and students 👯‍♀️💬 and hope to support students as best they can 💪 - so the earlier you reach out, the better! ⭐️

And don’t worry, we’ve created an email format for you, so you can focus on asking your questions. 🙈

For all social work students, both on placement ✍️ and not on placement 📚 , please don’t hesitate to reach out to the ADA WIL team for staff support on any placement questions! 🙋
