In an effort to identify material most appropriate for the addition of a Social Work Professionalism course, New Mexico State University’s (NMSU) School of Social Work considered a number of things. First, the curriculum committee sought feedback from social work professionals in the community. These professionals identified gaps in various skills that they perceived in student interns in field placement. Second, as a Hispanic Serving Institution near the U.S./Mexico border, the unique needs of these students were considered. Many of the students at NMSU are first generation to the United States as well as the first generation of their family to attend college and therefore often unfamiliar with expectations related to social norms surrounding professionalism. Third, common issues leading to sanctions for licensed social workers were examined. Finally, consideration was given to current events such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, racial injustice, “fake news,” and the Me-Too Movement and what such issues mean for workplace decorum.
