Rebecca Tabor and Yuri Hernandez have recently won competitive national scholarships through the Phi Alpha National Social Work Honor Society. Two of the three students chosen from a national pool for the Patty Gibbs Wahlberg Scholarship — based on students’ service, scholarship, and leadership — are from the University of Portland.
Rebecca will be speaking to an audience of students at the national meeting of the Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors; and Yuri won third place with a cash prize. Congratulations to both Rebecca and Yuri — as well as to their excellent CAS / Social Work faculty who helped mentor them along the way.
