Current FVSSW Students

SWEEP-Raíces offers student support opportunities where we help students get the most out of their social work education.  Through the development of a three-tier advisement model we seek to meet the multidimensional needs of students during their academic journey. Our Social Work Student Success Series includes opportunities for academic skill building, networking, and professional development while building community with social work peers.  To learn more about SWEEP-Raíces opportunities and resources, contact Elizabeth Garcia, MSW, Special Projects Coordinator at elizabethgarcia@nmhu.edu

Faculty & Staff Support

An important component of our work is providing support to the faculty and staff of the FVSSW by offering training, professional development, resource materials, and in establishing systems of support.  SWEEP-Raíces hosts an annual advisement training for all faculty and staff and will be facilitating the creation of a professional development series.
