"As an aspiring social worker, I am truly grateful for the opportunities that CTPCLC has given me – in allowing me to meet likeminded peers, in providing me a safe space to learn, fail and become better, and in giving me frameworks to not only situate myself in, but also the context in which I will eventually practice in."

"My time pursuing a minor with CTPCLC has been a humbling and inspiring one, grounded deeply in the concept of building communities. As we discover the varied meanings of communities through theory and research, I have thrived alongside like-minded individuals and professors who share the same vision and value in community development."

CTPCLC Alumnus, Class of 2019

"The most important thing that I’ve taken away from the CTPCLC that I still hold to be true to this day is that doing good is hard work. It reminds me that the passion and wanting to do good must also be coupled with good ideas and a strong resolve to see it through."
