Welcome to our Blog for the Research Practicum, Fall, 2012!  We will use this Blog to post your presentations about the social work agencies that are the contexts for your research proposals. This way you can learn more about social work agencies and their needs in the United States and Lithuania, and give each other feedback about your proposal ideas.
