How are the theses disseminated ?
To share the knowledge gained in your thesis work, students must disseminate their thesis work. This is usually a time to see how much you have learned and to gain recognition for your work. Students may elect to present their work a) in an on-campus professional colloquium, b) in the on-campus poster session, c) to a class which has relevant content (with permission of the instructor), d) discuss the work with a second reader selected from faculty and other appropriate professionals, e) do presentation to agency staff or at a professional social work conference. When the dissemination occurs away from Smith, a confirmation of dissemination must be sent to the Thesis Coordinator. This is a letter on agency letterhead signed by the moderator (who must hold an M.S.W. or Ph.D. in social work or a closely related field), your supervisor or agency directory; a copy of the conference schedule where you presented will also be acceptable.
