With the aging of the American population, all social workers, regardless of their field of practice, are increasingly finding themselves working with elderly clients or with clients' aging family members. A number of schools and departments of social work are actively engaging in a new emphasis to prepare future practitioners to meet the growing challenge and are seeking effective methods of enriching their curricula. This article examines current literature on institutional change that suggests effective curriculum change strategies fit institutional culture. It then reports the efforts of one rural BSW program to infuse its curriculum with content on aging, and demonstrates how the selected strategies fit the institutional culture of that social work program.

“Recruitment to the Profession” discusses the key role that nonprofit camps have long played in the recruitment of new social workers. Early efforts were uneven and uncoordinated. During the 1950s and 1960s, shortages in the field impelled recruitment efforts, culminating in the National Commission for Social Work Careers and its recruitment committees. One such committee and its Summer Experience in Social Work Program are detailed. Camps provided paid summer jobs, supervision, a seminar class, and a final two-day workshop, all with the goal of testing interest in and potential for social work. Social Work Seminar, the recruitment program of Camp Wel-Met, is described. The camp experience along with social work values conveyed by camp staff often inspire or confirm a decision to enter the profession. The chapter concludes with reminiscences from social workers about camp experiences and their choice of social work as a career.
