Welcome to the Center for Professional Excellence

ftownsend "Dominican University Graduate School of Social Work’s Center for Professional Excellence (CPE) is at the forefront of providing relevant and timely programs that assist in the professional development of current and future social workers. Like Dominican’s MSW program, CPE address issues that are impacting the field of social work domestically and internationally. We are committed to ensuring that every CPE participant leave our workshops, lectures and symposiums with new knowledge and practical training that they can implement within their organizations. For those organizations that have specific training needs, Dominican’s CPE now provides customized training that can be conducted on-site at the organization or at Dominican’s Priory or Grayslake campuses. Let’s face it, in today’s changing work environment, employees are expected to do more with less and our goal is to ensure that you have the appropriate tools necessary to effectively perform your responsibilities, increase productivity and remain competitive." Felicia L. Townsend, MBA, M.Ed-Assistant Dean of Recruitment, Admissions and Marketing/Director of Center for Professional Excellence
