Lauren Verlinden

Now as a therapist for children and adolescents, I have been able to fulfill my biggest dreams because of the education, staff, professors and friends through the School of Social Work at WVU. Not only did the BSW and MSW bring me a career but also life long friends that I now get to watch grow in their own careers and stand by them during on their biggest days. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities and people this program and field have brought me! Any tips I would give incoming Social Work students would be to get involved, show compassion to your professors (they are human too), and take the licensure prep course! It really will help!
