Abstract
Individuals enter the VU Social Work Department at different points in their collegiate careers. We are interested in studying how this affects their ability to implement the core competencies into their social work identity. In order to examine this, we will be researching how individuals feel at different levels of their undergraduate career in relation to how they feel about their professional identity.
