Today in the Pavilion were the Senior Poster Presentations! Fourteen graduating seniors presented posters that highlighted their practicum field placement and described their experiences there. It is great to go to this presentation if you are a Human Services major because it gives you an idea what you may be doing when you are a senior and get you thinking ahead of time on where you would like to do your practicum field placement.

The Field Placement of the Semester Award was presented to Harford Memorial Hospital’s Behavioral Health Unit. Lauren Bauer was the practicum student, and Lynn Kirylo, LCSW-C, was Lauren’s field instructor.
