As we start the new academic year, we welcome our very talented Class of 2024 and new graduate students. And, welcome back to our wonderful current students! We know that all of you have been affected greatly by the unprecedented crisis in Spring 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we have also been impressed with your resilience and your continued engagement in our classes and program. We know that this year must be particularly hard for our graduates to be cut off so suddenly from the Syracuse community and to now be facing such an uncertain world post-graduation. We are proud of your work while here and have truly enjoyed working with all of you over the past four years as you developed as scholars and socially engaged citizens. We wish you the best in your post-graduation plans, whether that is graduate school or pursuing a career. Despite the challenging circumstances, our distinguished and supportive faculty and staff are committed to educating the next generation of human service leaders serving children, youth, adults, and families as well as scholars producing forefront research to translate theories into policy implications and practices to improve families. Our program continues to flourish and has been consistently recognized as one of the very best programs in the country. Our faculty and staff truly care about students’ learning and development, and they support students in developing the knowledge and professional skills necessary to succeed in their academics and careers.
