Human Services Program Testimonials

Lauren Attenello, graduate

Goodwin University’s Human Services program boosted my passion for the field and enriched my skills by providing me many opportunities to grow. While enrolled, I worked two part-time jobs and took accelerated classes and standard classes — allowing me to finish my BS degree in three years rather than the typical four. Being in the Human Services field is beyond rewarding. My current career allows me to care for the senior community. I enjoy my job as the Memory Care Manager because I can give back. I love seeing my residents engaged in my activity programs because it helps enhance their quality of life. The Human Services field allows us to make a meaningful impact on others and help make a difference in the world.

One professor made it her personal mission to get me to dig deeper. I remember thinking ‘this is the type of professional I want to be’ — one who cares so deeply that she’s willing to go the extra mile.

Emely Dones, graduate

The Human Services program taught me that humanity, more than materials deserve to be renewed, revived, and restored. And that I can now help make this happen, by sharing my story, skills, gifts, and talents with the world.
