Social Work Faculty + Staff
Passionate about people
Our faculty and staff are great examples of the kind of individuals who are made for the field of social work. They are compassionate, dedicated, knowledgeable, and helpful. Our students develop a close working relationship with our faculty members through coursework, internships, and research opportunities. These relationships allow for our students to gain valuable knowledge and experience.
I love how accessible and friendly all of the staff of this department are. Having a relationship with my professors of the Social Work Department is an inextricable part of my experience at UWEC.
Meet our amazing faculty and staff
