Olivia Van Fosson-Roelfs
Why did you select the Iowa BA program?
I selected the Iowa BA program because I wanted to be able to expand my understanding of social work and get the amazing opportunities provided within this community. The BA program also sets students up for great opportunities for upper-level schooling, and real-life experience!
How do you juggle school/work/family obligations?
I am an extremely busy individual, so I have learned to juggle all my obligations by communication and having everything planned out well ahead. This gives me time to prepare and allow for the possible change's life throws our way!
What is a unique experience/opportunity you've had in the program?
A unique opportunity for me in the program has been being selected as part of the executive team for the Social Work Student Association as only a first year in the program on the two-year track. I have already built so many communications with faculty and have found a community within this program—something so important for career paths in social work.
