At the Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW), we’re a family. That doesn’t change when you graduate. Even if you live far from campus, there are lots of ways to stay connected — continuing education and special events live-streamed from campus, following us on social media, recruiting students and more.
Attend events and continuing education workshops. Many of our events are accessible digitally, so you can join the conversation from wherever you reside!
Connect with GSSW and other alumni on social media. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and the University of Denver Pioneer Connect alumni networking community.
Become an adjunct instructor or field education partner, or share your experience as a guest lecturer in a classroom. You can provide clinical supervision to recent grads in your region, too.
Introduce your agency or organization to GSSW’s Field Education Program. After two years of practice, you may be able to supervise a current student in the field as well.
2023 Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker Preparation
GSSW's LicensurePreparation Study Sessions will help you prepare for the social work licensing exam. Taught by a GSSW alumnus, the course includes thinking skills, test-taking strategies, how to approach the exam questions, and reviews each of the four primary knowledge/content areas:
Human development, diversity and behavior in the environment
Assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning
Psychotherapy, clinical interventions and case management
Professional ethics and values
After the content review for each section, the class discusses the correct answer and rationale for practice questions. This format will allow you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. You’ll also have an opportunity to practice with questions from the Association of Social Work Boards group practice exam.
I work closely with all of you to identify, create and cultivate your engagement in order to build professional connections and lasting friendships.
Carly Einstein, Director of Alumni Engagement
