1st place

I entered a social justice and ethics paper contest this semester based on my experiences at the prison, and I was pleasantly surprised to win first place! I was awarded $400.00 and invited to a luncheon with the MSW faculty and Gene Shumway, who co-founded the BYU MSW program back in the 70s. I was given the opportunity to talk about my paper and hear Dr. Shumway's ideas about it. Interestingly enough, Dr. Shumway worked at Discovery Acadamy for 4 years and he knows my dad really well, and told everyone at the lunch how much he loves my father! It was a fun experience!
