Academic Services Center

Dear MSW Student:  

Welcome to the Academic Services Center (ASK), a student-centered service available as a starting place for questions and concerns that you may encounter as a member of the SSW community.

It is my hope that ASK will provide you with much more than the information to be found on this website.  In addition to this page and its links, ASK is a place - staffed with real people.  As coordinator of this program, I welcome you to stop in to see me on the third floor of the Palace Road building (P-304M).  I am here to answer questions, listen to your concerns, and "triage" your needs.

Our registration coordinator, Suzanne Mullarkey, serves a vital function in her ASK role.  Suzanne is another resource available to students for help in navigating questions related to registration, course sequencing, pre-requisites and general program policy issues.  She is located in P-304P, and is available Monday through Friday.

ASK will be hosting events throughout the year in an effort to reach out to students and offer support.  Please stop in anytime to meet us — you are the reason we are here, and we are eager to know you.

Best wishes,

Kim Kelly Harriman, M.S.W.
