“Eastern's Social Work program effectively prepared me for the unique challenges of working with people from various backgrounds and walks of life in all kinds of environments. I felt supported by my faculty and peers in all aspects of my time at Eastern, and knew that I always had someone I could go to for advice, support, or a good laugh.”
