Dear Agency Director

Temple Universitys School of Social Administration has been asked by members of your community to examine the feasibility of bringing our Master of Social Work (MSW) program to the Clearfield County area. We have made a brief initial survey of some service providers and found sufficient interest to move to the next level of planning.

We are requesting your assistance in this phase of our exploration by completing this survey online and by distributing the -Potential Student- survey to employees of your agency that have a bachelors degree. If you need additional survey instruments for your agency staff or know of people outside of your agency that may be interested, please make copies of the enclosed forms.

Temple has been offering the MSW program at the Philadelphia campus since 1969, in Harrisburg since 1979, in Pottsville in Fall 2001, in Huntingdon in Fall 2004 and most recently in Lancaster in Fall 2006. The use of evening, Saturday and evening classes has enabled Temples MSW program to provide affordable education to adults working in human services.

Thank you for your assistance, instructions for mailing or faxing the survey are on the survey form. If you have questions regarding the survey, our MSW program, or have suggestions regarding the potential for a MSW program in the Clearfield County area, please contact me toll free at 1-866-769-1860 or email at lmartin@temple.edu">lmartin@temple.edu.
