VCU School of Social Work

Connecting with students

“I enjoy interacting with the students and I admire a lot of them. Being the faculty adviser for both the B.S.W. and M.S.W. student associations gives me a chance to be involved and engaged with these bright and active students. Social work students are committed to their profession and they’re doing these wonderful things already, before they even begin their professional lives as social workers.

“I know they are going to go out in the community and continue to do amazing things. They are also, as students, making a difference in the community and connecting the VCU School of Social Work to the community.”
