Master of Social Work No matter how uncertain life feels, I believe my fate is ultimately in Jesus’ hands. That gives me peace when things don’t go according to my plans. My advice to others is this: don’t let fear, failure, or other people define your worth. Life changes quickly, but faith gives you something steady to stand on. Be kind when it’s hard. Forgive even when it’s undeserved. Help people when you can. And remember that everyone is fighting battles you may never see. Success means very little if you lose your compassion along the way. Hailey Marie Casares ’’26 Master of Social Work

Humanistic Studies “If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.” - Anthony Bourdain Piper Jakeway ’’26 Humanistic Studies
