Prof. Kathryn Ross is part of GSSW's field education team, coordinating field sites, meeting individually with students, acting as a Field Liaison and serving on various committees. Previously, she was a field supervisor for nine years.
Her other professional experience includes wilderness programming, social work with high-risk youth and families, job-training and preventative program development. Her interest in "community mind-body social work" includes yoga and the integration of spirit into daily practice. Ross serves as Faculty Director for the University's Wellness Living and Learning Community, a program in which undergraduate students live together as a group and take seminar classes focused on wellness.
At GSSW, Ross teaches the clinical skills lab, foundation year community practice courses and the foundation field seminar. She also is a Field Instructor for students completing their internships at "Yoga for the People," an organization that she founded and previously served as Executive Director.
"I feel that it's my role to guide our students to become as authentically who they are as possible, so they can consciously use themselves as instruments of peace and change."
