Overview

Through the Social Work Major from Marist University, we place a great deal of emphasis on service-learning, which brings together faculty, students, and community organizations in order to link learning goals with civic responsibility and community empowerment. As a part of the curriculum, students are engaged in either a consciousness-raising project on campus or work with a community organization to address a social need.

Students have worked to stomp out stigma against mental health illness, increase equity for the LGBTQ community, raise awareness about sexual assault and harassment on campus, and push for fossil fuel divestment on campus. Hasion Gaston '20, featured below, created a series of social-emotional workshops for local youth during his Tarver Internship. He facilitated eight seminars ranging from value trees to personal reflections on leadership to vision boards.

Social Work Faculty Focused on You:

Each member of Marist’s Social Work faculty is either a former or practicing social worker. They are all at the top of their field with a diverse range of experiences working with a variety of populations. But the most important quality that our faculty provide is their dedication to your future. Our small class sizes allow our faculty to attain one-on-one relationships with each student and to closely advise you throughout your academic career at Marist.

For example, Associate Professor of Social Work Daria Hanssen was recently recognized for her teaching philosophies. She said, “I’m guided by the importance of human relationships, dignity and respect for students, integrity, and social justice. I’m a student-centered teacher.”
