“After the loss of my husband to cancer, I wanted to change careers to work with cancer patients. Bluffton University’s Social Work degree completion plan allowed me the opportunity to take classes while continuing to work to support my son. I am now running a nonprofit agency that supports cancer patients and their families in Hancock County.”
