Join us on Monday, September 15th, from 12:30-1:15 PM in Tucker Hall Room 328 to speak with Dr. Rebecca Matthew. Dr. Matthew earned a MPH, but felt the need to return to school to earn a MSW. She will speak with us about her motivations for going back to pursue her MSW, as well as her views on how the two degrees complement each other.
Please bring your lunch and join us for this exciting discussion!
As background, Dr. Matthew joined the UGA School of Social Work as an Assistant Professor this year. She grew up in rural Rhode Island and at 17 years old enlisted in the Army in order to earn the means to attend college. She earned a MPH in 2005, a MSW in 2009, and then went on to earn a PhD in social work in December 2013. Her research explores the labor conditions of childcare workers, and her teaching engages students in service-learning to assess community service providers and local redevelopment efforts.
