Matthew DeCarlo is currently the MSW Program Director at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA. The university started their MSW program this past April 2023 and is going through their initial 3 year accrediation from CSWE. St. Joseph's is currently an online MSW program.

We discuss: 1. OpenEducation, What is that? How it benefits the current students of the program.

2. Open textbooks and the concept behind that

.3. Challenges building an MSW program.

We also discuss the political landscape in Philadelphia, the violence plaquing the city. We discuss potential ways the new MSW program can assist future social workers to address the needs of the city of brotherly love.
