Vision Statement The George Washington University Human Services Program is committed to making a difference in the academic cultivation of undergraduate students preparing for careers in non-profit community based human services programs, or continuing graduate education in the human services fields. We accomplish this by maintaining a focus on social consciousness predicated in an excellent liberal arts education with broad exposure to human services. Through this focus our students gain a foundation in leadership, management, and policy formulation, grounded in the transformation of theory to application with service-learning experience. We develop our students through an emphasis on scholarly research, reflective learning, intellectual challenge, and active partnerships with the faculty and staff of the program. This active mentoring of students encourages acquiring life-long learning habits, incorporation of ethics, and development of a mature identity as a helping professional who is a critical element in the link between people and society in the building of community. We believe mutual empowerment and growth of citizenship develops in our students and ultimately in the communities they serve through our emphasis on academic growth, while simultaneously stressing the development of leadership skills, and the frequent collaboration with human services agencies.
