The Wayne State University School of Social Work Advanced Standing Orientation is a mandatory event designed for incoming students as a way to make new friends, learn the ropes and get settled into the program. The purpose of the new student orientation program is to prepare students to be academically successful by:

• Providing information and resources that will allow students to make informed and appropriate academic plans and healthy social choices
• Creating a welcoming environment that builds a sense of community among the incoming class and connects them to staff and other students
• Providing a framework for success through the communication of expectations, norms and standards

This event is also open to prospective students looking to learn more about our MSW advanced standing program.
