Michelle Tope, BSW Graduate, Fall 2007-Summer 2008
Michelle recently graduated from the UPP program on August 16, 2008. She is currently working at Tuscarwas County Department of Job and Family Services. Michelle has worked at TCJFS for more than 20 years; however after attending The University of Akron and applying for the UPP program, she followed her interests in the field of child welfare. During her field placement at TCDJFS, she learned about leadership tools, management, budgeting, and how to effectively organize a child welfare agency. Michelle coordinated foster care programs and contributed to the agency newsletter while completing her placement. She also shadowed intake workers and carried a case load to gain insight on on adoption services. As a UPP graduate mentor, Michelle will be providing some of the other UPP students with a presentation on her field experience. Michelle was awarded and has accepted a position at TCDJFS as Head of the Children Services Department. Recently, Ms. Tope was appointed as the Head of TCDJFS. We are all very proud of her accomplishments and wish her well on her journey. Great Job Michelle!
