PITTSBURGH DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE (IN RESEARCH)
Comment in email to Department of Sociology and Criminology:
"...I found out last month that I was accepted into the
Physician assistant program at Chatham University!...It's all
very interesting and it's great to be able to apply my public
health skills every day (finished Master's in Public Health at
the University of Pittsburgh)...I just wanted to say hello. I
really miss JCU-I don't think that will ever change. Thanks for
being such a wonderful mentor and professor during my time at
JCU!"

I would like to extend my deep gratitude to all of you, my wonderful

they [Jesuit Volunteers International] mentioned being very impressed

obviously cannot deny that the Sociology Department, and all

US ARMY OFFICER
Question: In what ways did your sociology major prepare you for the work force?

walk of life, it (sociology) has helped prepare me and have a better understanding
of what to expect.

IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY
Question: In what ways did your sociology major prepare you for
the work force?
Answer: Since I am an Immigration lawyer, I have daily interaction
with people from a wide variety of cultures and economic/education
backgrounds. My undergraduate work has not only made me more
aware of cultural issues, it has also prepared me for working
with such a variety of people. I am sensitive to issues faced
by refugees, [and their] families...I feel extremely comfortable
talking to my clients, and earning their trust because I was
prepared to relate to different cultures.

people, theoretical concepts, as well as environmental and social
impacts. This has helped me significantly in my role today in
recruitment.

STAY-AT-HOME MOM, PART TIME POSITION AT BOSTON COLLEGE INSTITUTION
OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND PASTORAL MINISTRY
Question: Do you have any information you would like to share
with the department?
Answer: After JCU, I did a year of JVC (Jesuit Volunteer Corps)
in San Antonio. I didn't think I would have been inspired to do
this if it hadn't been for my sociology major. I think my sociology
major equipped me on a social conscious level to be prepared for
the poverty I saw (poverty on various levels). Thank you for that!

gift of critical thinking. It has served me well, not only in my social work,
but also in the other jobs I have held.
