Students are Prepared, Supported and Known

“Learning how to provide for clients while working as part of an interdisciplinary team, I was able to build many different skills. Figuring out how to effectively communicate with attorneys and psychologists was great. And it really showed me that social workers can play an important role in many different settings.”
Jenna Roubik '25 '26 MSW
“Before St. Thomas, I thought health care was just doctors and shots. Now I see an entire ecosystem. At 20 years old, I'm leading my own research project. That level of trust is rare, and it makes you feel the college is invested in you.”
Will Wallace '27
“I’m so grateful to the St. Thomas program and the supports they gave me and the flexibility to make this dream a reality. Hopefully other people can feel inspired by what I’ve done and see that anything is possible despite where you come from.”
