"I knew I would graduate with a diploma in social studies education but I didn't know I would leave UWRF having done undergraduate research and having led professional development at a state level. The broad field social studies program gave me more than an education. It paved a road for lifelong success and gave me tools to expand my road on wherever I set my mind to."
