Social Work Students

 
  

 

"The Social Work program at Pacific was the best fit for me because it allowed me to combine my passion for social activism with real-life experiences. For my senior practicum, I created a service-learning project with 4th and 5th graders at one of the local elementary schools.  I had a blast helping them clean up their school and gained so much valuable knowledge from my time working with the students."

--Jenae Carpenter (Class of 2007)
