Social Work Major

Trice found Austin Peay's Baptist Collegiate Ministries and the University’s Department of Social Work have shown him the best ways he can use his gifts to help his campus and local communities.

“I’m passionate about helping people and getting to know them as individuals, so I decided to major in social work and I immediately knew I had made the right decision,” Trice said.
