Photo of Marva Carroll, MSW ’06: Marva’s strong sense of community and family fostered by her upbringing in the deep South made for a great fit with Buffalo, New York and the diversity of the UB campus. Upon receiving her MSW degree, she moved to Arizona, working to affect change and improve the welfare of Native American peoples.

Photo of Kelly Jackson, PhD ’07: In earning her PhD in Social Welfare at UB, Kelly made strong contributions to social work scholarship though her teaching and social research on race and culture. She is now as an assistant professor in Arizona, continuing to make her impact on education among diverse populations, including American Indian and Hispanic cultures.

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 Marie Roth, MSW ’02: Social work was always Marie’s first desire and, impacted by an employer’s downsizing, she came to UB’s master’s program to finally realize her dream. By continuing her education at UB, she is now a clinical supervisor and therapist, working with diverse populations of children with mental health concerns to improve their welfare.

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 Marva Carroll, MSW ’06: 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).
