Hansen Foundation, Fort Hays State University\u2019s social work cohort program is expanding into Northwest Kansas. <br><br> The cohort program provides an opportunity for individuals in Northwest Kansas to complete a Bachelor of Social Work degree after earning an associate\u2019s degree through Colby Community College. <br><br> With support from Valley Hope Inc. and Colby Community College\u2019s outreach center, the program will also be available in Norton. <br><br> \u201cThis provides an option for western Kansans to earn an FHSU Bachelor of Social Work degree, fully accredited by the Council of Social Work Education, in their local communities,\u201d said Dr. Tim Davis, chair of the department. <br><br> Classes, evening at the community college and online, are completed over a three-year period. Students take courses from both core faculty members at FHSU and local professional social workers serving as adjuncts. A full-time cohort coordinator is hired to provide for student recruitment, advisement, and to coordinate the ongoing needs of an offsite location. <br><br> Students in a cohort start and go through the three-year cycle together. FHSU commits to provide all three years of cohort education on site so that students who start can also finish in the same location. <br><br> FHSU\u2019s Department of Social Work offers the development of skills and knowledge that enables individuals to help others. The department offers significant resources for students including various student organizations and research support. Hands-on experiences through service and internship opportunities are also available. <br><br> For more information about the program or to apply, contact Rekala Tuxhorn, cohort coordinator, at <a href=\"mailto:rgtuxhorn@fhsu.edu\">rgtuxhorn@fhsu.edu<\/a> or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fhsu.edu\/socialwork\/Academic-Programs\">http:\/\/www.fhsu.edu\/socialwork\/Academic-Programs<\/a>.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By UNIVERSITY RELATIONS Thanks to a $95,000 grant from the Dane G.
