Last Thursday, Spring 2022 graduates of the behavioral healthcare major in the Department of Mental Health Law and Policy received their pins in the MHC Atrium. Seventy-one students were identified as eligible to graduate this semester and were placed in over 20 agencies, including the 13th Judicial Circuit, Juvenile Diversion Program. The graduates were celebrated for their accomplishments as their time as undergraduates at USF comes to a close. Randy Otto, PhD, who served as the guest speaker, shared inspiring words with the graduates as he welcomed them into the profession.
The behavioral healthcare major exposes students to the organization, finances, and outcomes of behavioral health services, and prepares them for employment or advanced professional training in the field. See more photos from the event on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
Miranda Haeussler received the 2022 Hope for Tomorrow Award, which is given to a student whose hope for tomorrow and desire to help others has assisted them to overcome challenges in their path to completing their undergraduate degree.
