Master of Social Work Advising

Current MSW Students

MSW Advisors do not work with students until they have been admitted to the program. The MSW program has two advisors, Riley Chase and Valerie Hamby. Students are assigned to advisors based on program and last name. However, all advisors can work with all students, so please meet with either advisor that works for you! 

Riley Chase advises for:

  • MSW Portland Students 
  • MSW Online Students–Last Names starting with C-Z 

Val Hamby advises for:

  • MSW Central Oregon Students
  • MSW Eugene Students 
  • MSW Online Students–Last Names starting with A-B 

Prospective MSW Students

Prospective students work with Kate Constable, Director of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management. MSW Advisors do not work with students until they have been admitted to the program. 

The best way to learn about the MSW program is via an MSW Information Session. 

These virtual sessions cover MSW admissions, program structure, and allow for individual questions to be answered in a group setting.

Kate also offers drop-Ins on Tuesdays & Thursdays: See current term schedule for details.
