Summary:[Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared in the Winter 2017 edition of the University of Michigan School of Social Work’s newsletter Field Notes and is reprinted here with permission.] Betsy Voshel retired in January 2017 after a long and distinguished career which includes 22 years at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Battle Creek, MI, 4 years leading Field Education at Western Michigan University, and 13 years leading the University of Michigan School of Social Work (U-M SSW) Office of Field Instruction (OFI). Under Betsy’s leadership, OFI reorganized so that the field faculty member who places a student also oversees the placement as a liaison and teaches the field seminar, giving the student one consistent point of contact and support. The NASW Code of Ethics forms a key piece of MSW field orientation and of ongoing training and seminars.
