Tawnisha Thomas, a Social Work, M.S.W. graduate, reflected on how her experience informed the impact she wants to have on the world.
When asked about her future goals, Tawnsiha said “I want to go into clinical counseling, but this program has really expanded my thoughts about what other things I might be interested in. I want to bring programs and resources to rural communities to help folks in need.”
One other person who deserves the spotlight is Regent’s Bachelor of Arts, R.B.A. graduate Adrianne Dering. She wants to use her R.B.A., as well as minors in Public Relations, Journalism, and Religious Studies to do policy and activist work.
Her graduation weekend was busier than most, as the day before Adrianne walked at her own commencement, her family drove to Purdue University in Indiana to attend her daughter’s graduation ceremony with her bachelor’s in plant studies, cementing how important education is to her.
We asked her how she plans to celebrate her accomplishments, and she said she’ll be rewarding herself with a nap and making time to read some books that aren’t academic for a change to give her brain a rest after a busy few weeks.
