Elizabethtown College Associate Provost for Institutional Effectiveness and Innovation and Professor of Social Work Susan Mapp co-edited the recently published book, \u201cSuccessful Baccalaureate Social Work Programs: A Guide for Current and Emerging Leaders.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The book, which Mapp co-edited with Needha Boutt\u00e9-Queen, a Professor of Social Work and Senior Associate Provost and Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs at Texas Southern University, is a collection of research, experiences, and insights of 25 social work educators. Mapp, who served as Etown\u2019s Social Work Department Chair and Social Work Program Director for more than a decade, also contributed to the book.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though social work programs are required to have program directors, there is little information about how to do the job well,\u201d Mapp said. \u201cThis book grew out of research we conducted about what these individuals would like to know more about and I\u2019m very excited to see it in print.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The book covers a broad variety of topics related to leadership in academia, particularly social work. \u201cOne of my favorite aspects about this book is that it will be useful to any academic in a leadership position,\u201d Mapp said. \u201cIf they have to recruit and lead faculty, manage budget, recruit students, ensure an inclusive environment, work with adjunct faculty, or assess student learning, there is pertinent information in the book for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the national level, Mapp served two terms on the Council on Social Work Education Board of Directors and one term on the Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors Board of Directors. She is the author of numerous articles and books, primarily on human rights and global social work, and has presented her research at national and international conferences.<\/p>\n

The book is available for purchase through the Council for Social Work Education (CSWE) Press.<\/a><\/p>\n
