Student & Alumni Testimonials

“I found an internationally-acclaimed university with staff who literally wrote the books that I will be studying. Wurzweiler for me was a very direct and current way to re-learn the whole systems of social work."

“What drew me to Wurzweiler is that we’re the only group work major in the country. I thought that I need to have that background and that foundation."

"The support, guidance, and opportunities offered by Wurzweiler’s academics and staff demonstrate the sense of camaraderie and shared purpose within the social work community which is truly inspiring."

"I'm passionate about my work, making a difference, creating equal opportunities, and advocating for those who are in difficult circumstances."

"I am passionate about working with children, young adults and families. I am also highly involved in research exploring arts-based approaches, specifically digital storytelling…and how it provides people with creative and unique ways of expression."

"The Trauma Informed Practice certificate has expanded my ability to understand and support individuals and communities dealing with trauma, and I'm looking forward to using this expertise and knowledge to make a meaningful difference in the field of social work."

"After moving from Israel to the US 13 years ago, I found my calling as a sexual educator. This journey inspired me to pursue an MSW degree at Wurzweiler School of Social Work, with an additional emphasis on the Trauma Informed Practice certificate."

"Through my service with the Wurzweiler Care Café program and other community activities, I continue to develop skills which serve some of city's most vulnerable populations in areas such as domestic violence, child abuse and neglect."

“The faculty do so many things outside of just teaching — they consult on cases and do all these really wonderful powerful things that help to propel us forward as a nation."

"I was looking for an education that would elevate my social work skills clinically, academically, and administratively. The DSW program at Wurzweiler is just that!"
