You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Congratulations on finishing this capstone course and on completing the BS in Human Services program! The future is full of opportunities for continued learning, growth, and challenge. What will you do next? Consider an internship? Apply for the Human Services-Board Certified Practitioner (HS-BCP) certification? Move into a graduate program? Interview for a job? Will you join the National Organization for Human Services (NOHS) and get involved in professional development activities?

How might you, even in some small way, change the world?
