What is the best part about being in the Social Work major?

My experience within my major has had a huge positive impact on my overall experience at Champlain. Social Work is a small major, so I have grown very close to my cohort. I’ve connected with alumni from this program who have assisted with my field learning, worked closely with my professors, and established great relationships with members of my division.

How has the Upside-Down Curriculum impacted your education?

The Upside-Down Curriculum allowed me to enter a placement at the Converse Home in my very first year at Champlain. From this field placement, I was hired as a substitute, which helped build my r¨¦sum¨¦ and knowledge base in working with older adults. This placement so early on in my college journey helped reinforce that I picked the right profession.

Can you tell us about your senior internship?

I am currently in my senior placement at Lund, where I work with three different programs. I work with Independence Place, which is transitional housing for families at risk of homelessness, and Lund’s residential treatment program, both of which I help run. I also work with a program called Kids-A-Part, where I take part in an initiative called Storybook at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility. Through this program, I record mothers reading stories for their children and assist with family visDivision of Information Technology & Sciences.My classwork did an excellent job of preparing me for my work in the field. Starting from my first year, I was given opportunities to work directly in the community. My third year, I took Generalist Practice, where I learned to apply skills in ethics and working with clients. As a senior, I have a weekly class to discuss what is occurring in the field.
