Social Work Online Faculty Spotlight: Challice LaRose

In this Faculty Spotlight, we talk with Challice LaRose, BSW Online Coordinator for the new online Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program! Challice is a two-time WVU graduate with a BA in Philosophy and a Master of Social Work. This upcoming fall semester marks the launch of the BSW program’s first cohort of online students. We spoke with her to get insight into this exciting new offering and the work that goes into it.

"I wear many hats on any given day. I have a teaching load, so I’ll be the instructor for some of the courses the students will be taking in the program. At the same time, I coordinate the online program, working on the behind-the-scenes aspects that keep a degree program up and running. We are also improving and/or redeveloping the courses in the program as most of them had never been delivered online before. While the online students take the same courses as the on-campus students do, the courses still need to be transitioned to the online format. We are spending a lot of time making sure those courses are built well and are ready before students take them."
