I loved how passionate all my professors were about social work and their love for the subject they taught. I was involved with the Social Work Student Association (SWSA) and the creative freedom was something I enjoyed. It provided me with opportunities to learn more about the UMBC-Shady Grove community, meet other students, and network as well.
