Event Information Social Work Licensing Process in Wisconsin with Marc Herstand

The MSW Professional Development Series was created to help students complete their MSW with a well-rounded, fully prepared scope of applied skills. Many of these skills apply to other fields and professions, as well! We are happy to have other fields and professions join our conversation!

In March, Marc Herstand, executive director of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), will map out the social work licensing process in Wisconsin.
