We’re thrilled to celebrate Dr. Cooper-Sadlo and our BSSW students in the Social Work Practice with Groups course for being honored with an annual Community Partner Award for their continued support of the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery.

Since 2022, students in this course have partnered with the Crisis Nursery, raising an incredible $8,043, along with goods and clothing donations, to support children and families in our community.

Students Lancelot Williams and Jack Benson proudly accepted the award on behalf of their class and Dr. Cooper-Sadlo.

We also want to recognize Brooks Klefstad, who was named Practicum Student of the Year for his outstanding work with the Crisis Nursery’s City Outreach Center and North County Nursery.

We are grateful for this meaningful partnership and the impact our students continue to make.

Starting college can feel overwhelming — but sometimes, all you need is someone to talk to.

School of Social Work faculty member Dr. Shannon Cooper-Sadlo is helping new SLU students navigate the transition to college life through her first-year seminar, “Conversations with a Mom, but not Your Mom.” From homesickness to building confidence and connection, the course creates space for students to feel supported during their first year on campus.

We’re proud to see Dr. Cooper-Sadlo’s care, mentorship, and dedication to students highlighted in this SLU NewsLink story.

We are pleased to recognize Damien Nonami, Abby Kleecamp, and Jesse Driese for representing the Criminology and Criminal Justice program at the Honors College Senior Legacy Symposium. Their hard work and dedication were on full display, and they represented CCJ exceptionally well.

The students have distinguished themselves in the classroom and gained experience that will help them as they move forward to carry out the mission instilled in them at SLU. We are proud to soon call them alumni of our program and wish them continued success.
