Javana Joyce, student in the Accelerated Full-Time Master of Social Work (MSW) program
I am in the first and last year of my program. I am in the Accelerated Full-Time Master of Social Work (MSW) program, which means that my Bachelor’s degree was in social work, so my Master’s will only be one year. I chose UC’s MSW program because of the support I received from the moment I reached out wanting to talk to someone about the program. I reached out to Dr. Dana Harley and she instantly made me feel welcomed and supported. I had a lot of questions and expressed I was looking for a place that would challenge and support me, and she did everything in her power to validate and prove that to me. From that first visit, I was left with a genuine feeling that UC would be what I was looking for.

The BSWSO helps connect both social work and non-social work majors of all years; we come together and advocate for individuals within the community, while also socializing and networking with each other. We will have different events throughout the year to help local communities/organizations in need, as well as host event socials, guest speakers, fundraisers, donation drives, and other fun events to get involved on campus. We want to emphasis the importance of social work within society.

According to the most recent Ohio Gambling Survey, more than 250,000 Ohioans have a problem gambling disorder. The number of people with the disorder tripled between 2017 and 2022 and, after sports betting became legal last year, experts expect the trend to continue. State leaders said it was "inevitable" to legalize sports gambling in the state since it was already happening without regulation and taxation. However, experts say the ubiquitous nature of online sports betting apps has led to an increase in addiction.
