Social work school offers study-travel program in Denmark
The School of Social Work is offering a study-travel program to Denmark from June 5-17. The trip is open to current social work students, alumni, social workers and other human service professionals. Led by Lynne Healy, professor of social work, the trip offers opportunities for sightseeing and learning about social work in Scandinavia in the context of a small travel group. The program may be taken for two graduate credits. It may also be audited, but tuition is still required.

Through preparatory lectures and a 12-day travel program in Denmark, participants will explore the Scandinavian social welfare system, widely known as one of the most comprehensive in meeting social needs. During the trip, participants also will explore attractions such as museums, castles, and the scenery of a land of more than 400 islands.

The estimated cost is $1,899, including airfare, ground transportation, accommodations (additional cost for single occupancy), and breakfast, plus a course fee of $466. A non-refundable deposit is due by April 3, with balance due April 8. For more information and an application, call (860) 570-9129.
