The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, welcomed the latest cohort of new and current online students during the Doctor of Social Work Orientation and Residency Week. The in-person event kicked off with a Welcome Reception at the Baker School, where students were able to meet new classmates and reconnect with former ones. 

Building Connections

The night was full of entertainment and included door prizes centered around social work categories.  It was also an excellent opportunity for students to socialize and build relationships with their Vol family while enjoying some fantastic food.

Campus Tour

During the week, students were able to enjoy the June weather on a walking tour around campus. They even stopped to visit The Rock, an iconic landmark at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The Rock was fittingly painted with the word “Ignite” on the front and included the University of Tennessee’s orange power T.
