Social Work Student Spotlights
Tyra Hostetler, Harper, Kansas, senior
"I chose social work because I have a deep desire to help others navigate challenges and improve their lives. Social work provides the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of individuals and my community. The NWOSU social work program focuses on advocacy, empathy, and empowerment, which aligns with my values. I am passionate about fostering positive change and ensuring everyone has access to the resources and support they need to thrive. I am excited about where this degree and career will take me."
Jenna Maier, Alva, Oklahoma, Junior
"I chose to come to Northwestern because of the successes of the Social Work program. Through the program, I have been given multiple opportunities to develop into a helping profession and now volunteer at the Regional Food Bank located in Alva, OK. The faculty in the Social Work program provide various opportunities for personal and professional growth. I appreciate how they push their students to become active members in their communities. I look forward to continuing to grow as a professional through this program!"
