Our alumni are very active in all levels of society here in Hawaii and across the world from working in human service to business to public service. Wherever they go, they engage in meaningful and often life-changing work for themselves and the people they serve!
Nancy McNamara, MSW Graduate, May 2009 "The MSW program at Hawai’i Pacific University offers a unique opportunity to study and practice the art and science of social work in a multicultural environment that I know will serve me well throughout my career. I have gained great perspective in working with diverse populations not only in my field practicums, but also from my fellow students and professors. The depth of experience that our professors bring to the classroom, along with the life experience of the students, merge to provide an educational opportunity that can be found in no other place."
