“Booth UC is far more than a place to learn. Booth provides you with opportunities to grow on a personal, spiritual, and academic level. I graduated from Booth over 5 years ago, and I continue to stay connected with classmates and educators, which speaks to the bonds that you can form at Booth.

When I reflect on my time at Booth, I am thankful for the welcoming learning environment, the various perspectives that the professors brought forward, and the hands-on and relevant training that was offered. Booth UC truly prepared me to be an empathetic and person-centred social worker and I am grateful to be part of the Booth community.”
