Another Masters in the Family!


Congratulations to FBIL!

Today, Brian graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a Master of Social Welfare! We are so proud of him and extremely happy for him!

I have known Brian for about 9 or 10 years. He has become such a big part of my life and it's an honor to know him. Brian is a man of integrity, sincerity, and honesty. And he is a man of compassion. He had a vision to change the world one person at a time, and he pursued it.

For the past two years, Brian has undergone the study of social welfare on a micro level. He has devoted countless hours to working with individuals, families, and groups. Last summer, he traveled to Ghana to work with individuals with HIV and AIDS. He has counseled so many individuals and groups of teenagers already at the end of their road. Just within two years as a protege, he has changed so many individuals. I have to admit, I have been really excited about him being in the program as we have had so much to talk about from disabilities to how our disciplines cross and collaborate to help individuals.

Although he has always been genuinely involved in the welfare of others, we couldn't be any more excited about him embarking on his career with his MSW! Congratulations, FBIL!
