Scholarly Identity

This course has exposed you to database-search techniques, communication strategies, scholarly writing principles, and many academic resources and services with which to continue developing your skills. Perhaps, as a result of this course, you have begun to think of yourself more as a scholar practitioner in human services. Your identity will naturally evolve as you advance in the program, but where are you now? What strengths can you leverage to remain motivated, and what resources will you use to support your success?

For this Discussion, you reflect on what you have learned and what is to come in the program, as well as your evolving identity.
