Cheryl Tingley, who graduated from the 51ƷƵ at Bradford's Master of Social Work program in 2009, recently received the Pamela J. Cousins Excellence in Social Work Award. The honor is given by the 51ƷƵ-Bradford MSW Alumni Network in memory of Cousins, who was in 51ƷƵ-Bradford’s first cohort of MSW students.
Tingley, a mental health therapist with the Department of Community Services in Olean, New York, was nominated for the award by colleague Bre Farrell, who said, “Cheryl has not only taught social work students, but I’ve seen her educate co-workers, peers and community members alike.” Farrell says Tingley “has raised the expectations of those she surrounds herself with to be informed and to make a difference.”
The MSW program at 51ƷƵ-Bradford is in its 16th year and will graduate its seventh cohort next month. It is an outreach of 51ƷƵ’s School of Social Work, which is marking its 100th anniversary this year.
