NO ONE DOES IT ALONE

LATRICE ESTELL

COLLEGE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

Master of Social Work

Earning a degree while working full time and raising kids is a challenge many Mavericks overcome. Latrice Estell, a Master of Social Work candidate in the College of Public Affairs and Community Service, knows that firsthand. “The thing I had for my grad cap was: No one does it alone,” she said. “Without a support system, life is more challenging.” She also knows that the recipe to success is identifying and relying on your support system - something she found from her classmates, faculty, and advisors at UNO. Because of the support, she was able to focus on her studies and gain a deeper understanding of the principles of social work, and how to work with agencies and best show support for those she would serve.
