Julia is the event co-ordinator for SSWO. She works hard every month attempting to line up someone to come speak to SSWO members at the monthly meetings and then she attempts to arrange a related service event. This is not an easy thing to do especially in times of COVID. She has put in a lot of extra hours to make this year a meaningful one for SSWO members.

Katie has done so well in her practicum at Glenwood Public Schools. She has worked hard to create a group therapy curriculum, individual therapy, and her supervisors have trusted her to be quite autonomous even with a challenging group of clients. Because of her hard work, Katie was recently hired as a school social worker at an area school, even before graduation! She has excelled wonderfully in the field.
