In the latest of a series of firsts, Southern Miss social work graduate student Evelyn Sullivan has earned a fellowship that has never before gone to a Mississippian.
The Council on Social Work Education selected the first-generation college student from Gulfport for its 2017-18 Minority Fellowship Program for master’s students. Of 160 recipients in the program’s four-year history, she is the first from the Magnolia State.
Sullivan is looking ahead to opportunities to pursue a Ph.D. and possibly exploring the political side of social work.
