We are so lucky to have Becky Cox on our team!

Meet Becky Cox. For Becky, social work is both a profession and a calling. Her journey has been shaped by faith, service, compassion, and a commitment to walking alongside individuals and communities facing adversity.

Becky’s connection to Jacksonville State University began as an undergraduate student, where her involvement in Baptist Campus Ministries and mission experiences helped her recognize her passion for advocacy and service. Those experiences opened her heart to diverse populations and strengthened her desire to support people whose voices are often unheard.

Now, as a Jax State MSW student and Rural Behavioral Health Social Work Stipend trainee, Becky is preparing to provide behavioral health services to children, adolescents, and young adults. Through the program, she is building the clinical knowledge and advocacy skills needed to serve with empathy, cultural responsiveness, and ethical care.

Becky credits the Social Work Department’s faculty with helping her feel welcomed and encouraged as she returned to school after many years. Becky’s story reflects the heart of Jax State Social Work: service, advocacy, personal growth, and a commitment to serving others.
