Thursday night Nate and I attended a Social Work Dinner where I received my "major award". Not really, but I sure was excited about it! I was awarded the College of Social Work BSW Faculty Award for promise in Social Work based on interest and dedicated service in my field practicum (internship) and scholastic ability and acheivement. (I copied that right off the award letter!) I was nervous when I got the letter in the mail because when you are this close to graduation and you receive an official looking letter from the school my first thought was that they changed some requirement and I would need to take Math 1050 or Stats again! But to my surprise the letter brought good tidings and I feel very honored to receive this award. We got to attend the tasty dinner, hear some great speakers, I got a cool plaque, and we even got to take home one of the lovely fresh flower centerpieces.
Two of my professors-
Irene Ota and Ruth Gerritsen-McKane
