New Position

As we come to a close of the spring semester here at UNK, I have been thinking a lot about the past three years and my future. I decided to take a new faculty position in the department of social work at California State University San Marcos in San Marcos, California. While I am excited to start this new position and work in a department with some great new colleagues, I will miss the colleagues and friends I have made here at UNK. I never imagined myself living in Nebraska and it has really been enjoyable. I, and my family, are excited to be closer to other family as we move to Southern California but I will forever be grateful for the work I was able to complete here at UNK and for the students in my classes. It may have taken some convincing of them that social media can be powerful in social work, but I think they now have a better understanding of its place in the profession. I will continue my work on social work and social media in my new position but I am also looking forward to getting involved in more community-based research. I have lots of grand ideas and hope to share them along the way here on my blog. Yes, I know I do not update as often as I should and it’s honestly something I hope to work on as well. In the mean time, back to grading, then packing and moving. It’s going to be a wild and fun summer 🙂
