Social welfare school adds programs for professionals, alumni
- The social welfare program is looking for ways to help alumni update their education.

Kansas University's School of Social Welfare is looking for ways to provide professional and community education as well as outside projects.
beginning this school year, the KU Social Welfare School will offer a master's program in social work at the Department of Family Services Offices in Kansas City, Mo.
Associate Dean Charles Wrapp said that by locating the program on site, transportation time is cut for department employees, who also won't have to take as much time off from work.
"It is a blending of all genders where
everybody is kicking in to get the job done — and we are really excited to be a part of that." Wrapp said.
The school is also beginning a Professional and Community Education Program. The program will focus on delivering post-master's degree classes and workshops to alumni and other social workers who need to update their skills and licenses, Wrapp said.
"This is the first concerted effort to
help alumni out," Wrapp said. The program will include evening and weekend classes and all-day workshops.
Social welfare professor Tom McDonald has received funding for several child welfare projects.
McDonald is involved in a Kids Count project, which focuses on the welfare of children in Kansas, and the Kansas Families for Kids Initiative contract. Kansas Families for Kids works to find permanent adoptive homes for children who are in state custody, he said.
The school has two new faculty members for the coming year. Deb Page-Adams just earned her doctoral degree from Washington University, St. Louis, and specializes is in social administration and poverty programs. Margaret Severson, formerly of the faculty at Louisiana State University, has focuses her work on mediation and corrections.
David Ambler is KU's vice chancellor for student affairs.

another building that is undergoing reconstruction.
"Watkins will be adding on 20,000 square feet more to the center which will be done just before the fall semester begins. This fall the already existing 60,000 square feet will be remodeled," said Jim Strobl, director of Watkins Health Center.
"Hopefully our number one complaint will be answered. With our new pharmacy and the new computer system, our top 75 medications will be built in the system. This way they can be counted out and
billed immediately. A slow pharmacy was one of the things that needed to be changed." Strobl said.
Other changes will include an increased number of exam rooms, five more observation beds in the urgent care clinic, more confidentiality in the check-in area as well as in the exam rooms, and Braille on all of the signs.
"We want to be able to increase the number of appointments possible as to cut down on patient wait. The new building and systems should make the students escorted through the process fairly rapidly," Strobl said.
