Info for Current Students

Samuel McIntyre, an undergraduate student studying at Rutgers School of Social Work, is one of the record 20 students across Rutgers University who was awarded the prestigious Benjamin A.

The award empowers students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad, fostering mutual understanding between the United States and other countries.

Katie Bisaha, a second-year MSW/MPH dual degree student at Rutgers School of Social Work, is living proof that a following a nontraditional path can lead to powerful, purpose-driven work.

Michael Turner MSW'24 had about a decade of experience working at Volunteers of America Delaware Valley when he decided to pursue a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree at Rutgers University. As Turner progressed in his studies, he was promoted to program director, taking on a more administrative role that involved supervising clinical staff and operations, as well as gathering, analyzing, and reporting data. When the time came to fulfill the MSW’s practicum requirement, Turner identified a unique and valuable opportunity: he could complete his practicum at his own workplace. This arrangement resulted in an immersive, hands-on educational experience for Turner, while also providing significant value and actionable insights for his organization.
