What if the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work could provide

“comprehensive programming to 600+ current students and 10,000 alumni?”

This question was inspired by information shared with me by Keith Caldwell, the former Director of Career Services and Alumni Affairs/Lecturer. Keith played a pivotal role to increase the impact of the two major responsibility areas (career/alumni) for this position. His point that “this position is poised for a growth phase” resonates with my experience, expertise and passion to make a positive difference in the World. Let’s put the “Yes” in to the “What if?”………
