If you want a class where you will be both challenged and entertained, then you should consider taking a class from Prof. Kunz. He makes policy (yawn!) very exciting—and even makes you think that you could be the next President of the United States…or the next Barbara Mikulski! He really cares about his students and tries to engage them in classroom discussions. He's also the only professor that has given us a mid-semester evaluation (one that he created himself), so that we can give him feedback.

But don’t be fooled by the cute pictures of his kids—he’s expects a lot out of his students. In his SOWK 600 class, there are several papers (no tests), a group presentation, and a requirement to communicate weekly with your classmates online about policy issues. He will definitely challenge you—but it’s most definitely worth it.

I’m realizing more and more that my professors have shaped the majority of my experience here. If you are a first-year or an incoming student, please ask other student about the professors. Your professors really can make or break your view of social work and your experience at this university.

Every person that I asked about Prof. Kunz had nothing but glowing things to say.
