"Before coming to STU I lacked confidence and a sense of community.  I'm grateful for my university experiences and I feel better prepared for my professional journey.

Among the many factors that have nourished my spirit here, the faculty played a big part in my growth.  I have never experienced education so intimately.  I have had a close relationship with all of my professors at STU and I feel like a respected member of the STU community (unlike other campuses where I'm sure I would have felt like a number or a ghost).

In particular, the professors in the social work program have taught me many things and they are a very dynamic group of people.  Each one of them has a unique gift and on many occasions I have been encouraged, challenged, affirmed, enlightened and fueled.

Thanks to my professors at STU, I am a better activist, listener, critical thinker, friend, advocate, and role model.  I feel very privileged to have received part of my education here and I hope that future students will take advantage of all of the opportunities to experience community at STU!"
