“As a people person, this degree in Social Work was right up my alley. Through coursework, my professors, and my field internship I learned hands-on how to challenge and refine my skills in working with a wide variety of people, from diverse backgrounds with diverse lived-experiences. I put my learning to practice in serving others, empowering people, honoring their self-determination, and through their hardships work towards health–this degree program gave me the tools I needed to strengthen my abilities and pursue my passions.”
