You may have already seen the social media campaign we began in August. The “Be a Better Everything. Be a Sociologist.” campaign highlights the successes of nine of our alumni and shows that a sociology degree supports your goals in the professional world. 

It was so wonderful to work with these nine alumni. We’d also love to hear from you and how you use your sociology degree! If you haven’t seen the campaign, please check it out on our social media platforms:
