What our students are saying
"I'm driven by my commitment to interdependence, social justice, and advocacy. This program has connected me with experienced professors and advisors, providing invaluable insights beyond the textbook, gaining hands-on experience with social workers, the justice system, and crime victims. After graduation, I plan to pursue an MSW in medical advocacy while earning a Certificate in Addiction Services. With substantial experience, I hope to teach and mentor future social workers!”
