A Drive to Help Others

Hannah Skibba is a social work major with a child welfare emphasis at UW-Green Bay. Her work in Child Protective Services has allowed her to help those who can't help themselves. When a potential danger to a child is discovered, social workers step in to offer assistance, to protect and to serve. They are advocates, counselors and parents when parents can't be or don't have the power and resources to provide for their children.

Accredited Bachelor's & Master's Degree Programs

UW-Green Bay's Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education's Commission on Accreditation.
