Alaina Morgan will be graduating from the University of Kansas with a master’s in social work in May. She says she’s still deciding what path within the center is best for her.
“I have actually interviewed with like three or four different places at Ozark Center, just because — I would 100-percent love to stay with New Directions but that’s just not where I’m gonna be right now, so I’m still trying to figure out where exactly I’m going to go,” said Morgan.
“We have created this to celebrate them — celebrate what they have done and their accomplishments — and then also to celebrate them joining Ozark Center,” said Shannon Dalton, Ozark Center Program Development Specialist.
Most signees will graduate in May and hope to be starting in their new roles in the coming months.
