A VISION FOR YOU
“I believe excellence in teaching is
much more than having information
to provide to students, but more a
way of relating that transmits a love
for learning and a desire to fully
engage students in the learning
process. By challenging students to
go beyond their present level of
understanding and explore higher
levels of critical thinking, I believe we
can best prepare the next generation
of social work leaders.”
Dr. Donna Leigh Bliss,
Director and Associate Professor
