Dr. Lorraina Scholten
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is being involved with highly motivated and competent students who are committed to serving others. Our students understand and fight for social and economic justice and are high achievers in every sense. They come with a combination of compassion and a desire to improve the communities in which they practice. We graduate competent social workers who are eager and ready to transform the world. It is an honor to engage them in the profession.
My professional interests include policy advocacy, evidence-based practice, poverty in Native American culture, and health care reform.
Away from work I enjoy spending time with my husband, Paul. We have four grown (or almost grown) children, a daughter-in-law, and one grandchild. We sing, play, read, walk, swim and eat together every chance we get.
