This article reports on BSW and MSW students' satisfaction with a required orientation workshop designed to socialize them to professional educational and to academic and professional standards of behavior. Students viewed video-recorded vignettes that addressed problematic behaviors in class and field, followed by faculty-led, small-group discussions. BSW students rated the workshops as more helpful than MSW students did. First-year MSW students rated the workshops as significantly more helpful than advanced standing students, suggesting that more experienced students perceive less need for an orientation. Open-ended questions revealed that students appreciated the opportunity to meet faculty members and other students. (Contains 4 tables.)
