Student Success Story
“Ramapo’s MSW program gave me unparalleled learning and career opportunities. I explored substance use policies through a Portugal study abroad trip and the Substance Use Disorders Education and Leadership Scholars program, which inspired my advocacy work. Today, I’m a full-time psych unit social worker and part-time substance use therapist, thanks to the support and foundation Ramapo provided.”
