ABSTRACT
The USC School of Social Work runs an annual, week long training for faculty. This intensive workshop has become known as the school's "Boot Camp" or "Tech Camp". The faculty are expected to attend 9am to 4pm, Monday thru Friday. We feed them lunch and snacks every day to keep them on-site and on schedule. At the end of the workshop each faculty member is expected to give a five to ten minute lecture or guide an activity that will demonstrate what they have learned.
