The Moravian Theological Seminary dual degree relationship with Marywood University School of Social Work (MAPC/MSW & MDiv/MSW) continues to strengthen with exciting new collaborations:
- On November 19, 2010, the MAPC Professional Day guest lecturer addressed the theme of The Pastoral Counselor's Approach to Multi-Faith and the Changing Religious Landscape. Afterwards, a panel of 2 recent graduates, one MAPC/MSW, and a representative of Marywood School of Social Work gave professional and insightful responses to the presentation.
- On February 25, a representative from Marywood
University School of Social work will be present at the Moravian Theological Seminary MAPC Job/Internship Fair to answer any questions students might have about the Marywood curriculum and how it dovetails with an MAPC degree. The Job/Internship Fair is being held in conjunction with the Psychology and Spirituality Lecture: Psychology of Youth & Their Spiritual Development by Robert Dykstra (click here for more information). The MAPC Job and Internship Fair will be held from 8:30–9:30am, 12:00–1:00pm and 2:30–3:30pm
- Marywood has invited a Moravian Theological Seminary MAPC representative to the Marywood School of Social Work Conference in celebration of National Social Work Month. This conference entitled Empowering the Latino Community: A Culturally Competent Perspective will be held on Wednesday March 23, 2011 from 8:15 – 4pm at the DeSales University Center.

Seminarians continue to be empowered by this dual degree option. Currently, two students are completing the MAPC/MSW and MDiv/MSW dual degree programs, and two prospective students are in the application process for the dual degree option.
An additional noteworthy item is that Carol Olzinski, a 2010 graduate of the MAPC/MSW program, was hired as an Administrator for Methodist Community Counseling Services, an exciting position that brings together both degree programs.
The dual degrees enabled me to answer my call to social service—in particular, ministering to the "least of these"—by providing me with a better appreciation for the impact of larger social systems/the environment on the individual as well as the skills needed for competent practice in the midst of the complexities of contemporary society. The degrees complemented each other beautifully.

Dual degree advisor, Marcella Kraybill-Greggo looks forward to the continued evolution of the Moravian/Marywood relationship, “We are thrilled to see how our dual degree program continues to strengthen and equip counselors and leaders for the 21st century.”
