A BIG shout out to BSW students Jamaia Burks and Serenity Hinton for volunteering at the STAND UP4 Children event on Friday.

Brescia Social Work will be there, how ‘bout, YOU?

Earlier this month, Brescia University Social Work students attended the CW PREP Spring Retreat in Northern Kentucky, where they connected, learned, and built community together.

Congratulations to CW PREP students Britney Burkhart, Cami Galloway, and Zoe Smithson, who will graduate in May and step directly into careers with DCBS!
