Social Work in Schools (SOWK 587)

Term: 2024-2025 School Year Spring Semester

Faculty

Mr. Jacob R Campbell PhD

I value collaborating and working on problems in person. I go between several sites (e.g., Heritage at Toppenish/Kennewick campuses, Columbia Basin College Campus, and my home office). I adapt my location and schedule to meet the needs of a given week, so my schedule does vary depending on the needs for that week. The following is my general plan for locations:

  • Tuesdays and Saturdays (when we have MSW classes) in Toppenish
  • Wednesdays and Thursdays in Kennewick

I schedule specific times for weekly collaboration and student meetings at 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. When this time must be changed, I move it so there is always a scheduled time each week. During my scheduled office hours at each site, I’m open for people to come by in person or join Zoom (https://heritage.zoom.us/my/dr.jacob).

You can check out my NOW page for my schedule this week and today. To schedule a specific meeting time, feel free to email me (campbell_j@heritage.edu) or call/text me at (509) 392–1056.

I attempt to maintain an open door policy, meaning days I’m on campus you can also come by my office and meet as needed. My offices are as follows:

Toppenish Campus: Simpkins Hall in Office 2126
Tri-Cities Campus in Kennewick: Office 4209

Schedule

Sat, 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM (1/21/2025 - 5/16/2025) Location: TO PETRI 1113
