HAYS, Kan. -- The Department of Social Work at Fort Hays State University will host an annual Social Work Field Day from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, in the Black and Gold Room in the Memorial Union. This event includes a continuing education program.

The Field Day is being renamed to "The Judy Caprez Social Work Field Day" in honor of retired FHSU professor Judy Caprez, who retired in 2015 after 23 years at FHSU.

Caprez will speak about "Social Work Practice and the Contemporary Family" and will conduct the training provided to meet the continuing education requirement for Kansas licensure.

A minimal fee of $20 will be charged the day of the training. Only cash and checks will be accepted. All current field instructors are exempt.

Immediately following the CEU training, field instructors will meet with social work faculty for an opportunity to provide feedback on the program and the students' preparedness for the field workshop. This meeting will be located in the Pioneer Room in the Memorial Union.
