Undergraduate Student Representative
Sherri Funk (Governors State University) Sherri Funk is a current BSW student at Governors State University. She chose diversity and social justice as her initial social work course when she returned to college, which was enough to entice her to choose to major in social work. The knowledge gained in her diversity and social justice course was much more than simple textbook material; it was a process of self examination of her values and attitudes towards the marginalized populations. Recognizing her personal attitudes towards others will allow her to demonstrate professionalism as well as social work values and ethics in her career as a social worker.
Intertwining her personal values, beliefs, and interests also aided in her decision to pursue a career in the social work field. Her personal attributes and educational experiences provide her with personal and professional strengths relating to her role as a social worker. As a non-traditional student who works full-time outside the home, time management is a key component to her success as a student.
