Ayla Hargis receives CU online program Social Work award By Leslie Michaels Too many times, life gets in the way of our goals, passions, and dreams. We've all had these instances, and the measure of a person is how they rise to the occasion. I'm writing to introduce you to local graduate, Ayla Hargis, the first online student at the Campbellsville University Carver School of Social Work to receive the Outstanding Bachelor of Social Work Award. Her success illustrates the need for more local universities to embrace online programs in areas of need, like social work. In Kentucky, Hargis struggled to find a practicum placement due to a shortage of licensed supervisors with social work degrees. "I realized," says Ayla, "that some of the places in Kentucky that need social workers the most don't have them." While the lack of practicum opportunities led her to Campbellsville and Green River Ministries, this needs gap, for both patients and students, reveals the urgent need for accessible social work programs in the US. There needs to be more opportunities to support nontraditional students who may face their own challenges as they work to enter the field. When her daughter was a year old, Ayla decided that she wanted, and needed, to go back to school. Being a young, working mother, Ayla knew she would have to enroll in a program that would accommodate her busy life. After considering a range of schools and programs, she selected Campbellsville's online social work program because she wanted to help people and make her daughter proud; she also needed affordability and flexibility and a seamless transition into master's level work. Campbellsville's Carver School checked all the boxes. After semesters of online discussion boards, unwavering faculty support, and rigorous classes, Ayla completed her course work. She is now in the practicum stage of her training, working under a fellow Campbellsville alumna at the Green River Ministries Homeless Shelter. Ayla is the cornerstone of her family, providing for her daughter and other family members while pursuing her education and career goals. Programs like Campbellsville give people with determination the chance to improve their lives while maintaining the responsibilities they already have. Ayla will begin her master's work at Carver School this fall. If interested in speaking with Ayla Hargis about her experience, Carver's online offerings, the importance of accessible social work programs, or other aspects of social work education, please contact me at leslie.michaels@finnpartners.com. I would be happy to arrange a conversation. This story was posted on 2018-07-26 15:27:41
