What our students say about the Social Work program
“My passion for assisting vulnerable children and populations stems from my family’s experience with adoption and the foster system. Through the Social Work program, I get to learn from Professors like Nick Pollack who continue to prepare me to be the best and serve like Jesus intended. The different courses in this program have enlightened me on different aspects of Social Work while reminding me of the importance of faith and working as the hands and feet of Christ.”
