Suffolk County Community College

I left Suffolk with a solid social work foundation, an in-depth understanding of self awareness, the strength’s-based perspective, and the importance of integrity to the profession.

The experience in the program helped me when I went into a four-year school because I was the only one who had an extensive internship and experience practicing interviewing skills in the classroom setting.  It was an intense program, but very rewarding. It certainly prepared me for a four-year school.

My education and training in the Human Services Program at Suffolk more than prepared me for the job I was hired for the week after I graduated.

The Human Services Program prepared me for the Bachelor's program at Stony Brook and really gave me the insight that I needed to become a productive and beneficial social worker. On a personal level, the program helped others around me as well. Seeing what a challenging and influential experience I had, my boyfriend decided to go back to school too! He is entering his final year at Suffolk in the fall.

There is no day at DSS while doing my job that I don't recall what I learned in the Human Services Program. Interviewing clients and assessing their situation, bring me back to those days where clients were only in my mind. Rosa, Maria, Peter, James, Carlos, Daniel and Karla are my real clients today and they are benefiting from what I learned at Suffolk.
