On November 12-13, 2007, the Council on Social Work Education site team spent two days at NCSSS, completing their review and critique of our BA and MSW programs. This evaluation process by our accrediting body began with the site team’s assessment of reaccreditation documents submitted by NCSSS on August 1, 2007. The site team identified the following areas as strengths of the school: “the mission of NCSSS, the curriculum, the faculty, the program leaders, field education, the Dean, our commitment to diversity, and program outcomes.” The preliminary findings and results did not identify any concerns at all! Clearly, this is the best of times to be a social work student at NCSSS.    Dean Zabora
