Published: 05/24/2016

Stephanie Whitlock, St. Charles Community College alumna and member of Tau Upsilon Alpha (TUA) Lambda Chapter of the National Human Service Honor Society, has been awarded a scholarship from TUA to attend the 2016 National Council on Standards for Human Service Education Conference Oct. 19-22, in Tampa Bay, Fla.

This year’s conference is dedicated to examining “The News ‘Realities’ in America: Preparing for the Challenges Ahead.” The conference will examine the dynamics and impact of issues from diminishing funding sources to new measures of evaluating the use of those funds, from a more diverse client population in terms of ethnicity, age, lifestyle and socioeconomic status, to how human services workers face challenges they have never experienced. 

Conference attendees will attempt to uncover new and emerging issues so the Human Service profession may be prepared for them.
