Alaina has demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence and community service. She has maintained a 3.7 GPA, earned a spot on the Dean’s List, and has been invited to join two first-year honor societies. She has volunteered at Jeremiah’s Garden, Table of Grace, and the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter, gaining hands-on experience serving my community. Community service has shown me that social work is both a profession and a commitment to collective well-being. She is proud to have been selected to apply to the Social Work Professional Program a semester early, reflecting her dedication and readiness for growth. These experiences have strengthened her emerging professional identity and passion for making a meaningful impact.
