A Year in Richmond: Jan Ivery Joins Tackles Urban Challenges as VCU Visiting Scholar
Andrew Young School associate professor Jan Ivery said she “came into” social work after graduating with an undergraduate degree in sociology. “I was nearing graduation, and my parents asked me, ‘what are you going to do with this degree? So I looked around my senior year, and someone asked if I’d considered social work.” It wasn’t her first choice, though. “I had the typical stereotypical idea of what social work was, and I didn’t want to work with children.”
