Photo of Esther David, MSW ’07: Esther, a native of India, quickly became attracted to Buffalo, New York and brought additional diversity to the UB School of Social Work MSW program. Exposure in her classroom and field study to social problems from addictions to aging was a valuable part of her master’s education.
Photo of Rebecca Boucher, MSW ’07: A native of Canada, Rebecca was able to compare the Canadian and American health care systems during her internship at an addiction facility and throughout her time at the School of Social Work. Interested in trauma, she completed the master’s program in Buffalo and returned to Canada as an outreach counselor for a sexual assault center
Photo of Robert Chapman, MSW ’03: With a full-time job in clinical practice, Robert was able to continue work while a student in the School of Social Work’s flexible part-time MSW program. In his evaluation of the program’s impact on his work as an addictions counselor, he credits the school with helping him polish the skills needed to affect change in his clients’ lives.
Photo of June Van Every-Huber, MSW ’02: June is the first and only school social worker in her district, working at a Native American elementary school in western New York. Involved in counseling, academic intervention, mental health issues, crisis intervention, and conflict resolution, she credits UB’s accelerated MSW program for her strong foundation.
Photo of David Crowther, JD/MSW ’05: Combining his interests in law and social work, David completed the school’s JD/MSW program to be an agent of social change. He found that the school’s dual-degree program taught him to celebrate diversity and see commonalities, and that it helped develop communication that enables a deeper understanding with his law clients.
Photo of Sara Meerse, JD/MSW ’96: Originally leaning toward social work but then attracted to issues in law concerning child welfare, Sara engaged the JD/MSW program on her way to becoming a public interest lawyer. Impressed by the social work faculty, she was influenced not only by their scholarship but by their real-world experience as well.
 
Photo of David Crowther, JD/MSW ’05: Our graduates are living proof that we make a difference in people’s lives. The School of Social Work is fully accredited by the CSWE and offers full-time and part-time regular and advanced standing MSW programs, interdisciplinary programs (JD/MSW, BA/MSW, and MBA/MSW), post-MSW options (PhD and post-graduate certificate programs), and non-degree options (non-matriculated study and continuing education).
