At Social Work Day on the Hill, UTC student Kelli Webber spoke to the audience after receiving the BSW Student of the Year award from Dr. Keith Ekhator. Photos courtesy of Dr. Bethany Womack.<\/p><\/div>\n

One week after being recognized as statewide Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Student of the Year, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior Kelli Webber still couldn\u2019t believe she was the award recipient.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing. I\u2019m still speechless. I can\u2019t believe it,\u201d Webber said, her eyes tearing with excitement. \u201cAnd if you knew me eight years ago, you wouldn\u2019t believe it, either.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

On March 20, the Tennessee chapter of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) held its 2024 Social Work Day on the Hill event in Nashville, an annual statewide event that coincides with Social Work Month. It is the primary event for social work students in Tennessee, with students from 16 universities participating in the day\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n

As part of the program, in front of approximately 450 people, Webber received the BSW Student of the Year award from NASW-TN\u2019s president-elect, Dr. Keith Ekhator.<\/p>\n

Eight years ago, she couldn\u2019t have seen that honor coming.<\/p>\n

Kelli Webber<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI actually am a person in recovery. I have eight years of sobriety now,\u201d Webber said. \u201cI\u2019m totally comfortable talking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her addiction, she said, was bad. \u201cI went down that long road and down that path.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her life turned around after she entered recovery in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty soon after I went into recovery, I decided that I really liked helping women, so I started at The Launch Pad\u201d\u2014a safe space for women in recovery.<\/p>\n

She was The Launch Pad\u2019s first employee, serving as director of housing. The organization bills itself as a home for new beginnings and \u201ca place of sober living to launch women into recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Launch Pad now houses 49 residents in five fully occupied homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy work there really interested me in case management and how I could help them reintegrate into society,\u201d she continued. \u201cThat\u2019s where I got interested in social work.\u201d<\/p>\n

After three years of sobriety, Webber returned to college\u2014which she had first tried after graduating from Hixson High School in 1989.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went back to school in 2019\u201d\u2014first at Chattanooga State Community College, then at UTC\u2014\u201cand as a person in recovery, I just wanted to help women in my community get the same advantage that I got,\u201d she said. \u201cI ended up here in this lovely school I love so much. I\u2019m graduating with a BSW on May 4 and going straight into the master\u2019s program here.\u201d<\/p>\n

UTC Associate Professor of Social Work Bethany Womack called the Student of the Year award \u201ca particularly impressive honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see people work their way through a change process and be able to guide others through it,\u201d Womack said. \u201cShe\u2019s keeping people in recovery in housing and she is growing a program that will have a huge impact on the Chattanooga community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Webber, now a certified peer recovery specialist, laughed when asked what she wants to be when she grows up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 53 now, so when I grow up, I will still want to work at the job I have now,\u201d she said. \u201cI absolutely love working with these women at The Launch Pad, so when I grow up, I just want to be better. I want to be a master\u2019s-level addiction counselor. I want to work with women with addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Webber wasn\u2019t the only UTC Social Work Day on the Hill honoree. Seniors Hannah Kean Davis and Emma Shavers won the state policy presentation competition for BSWs.<\/p>\n

Davis, who gave the presenter speech\u2014as only one person is allowed to present\u2014is a graduate of Sale Creek (Tennessee) High School. Shavers, a native of Franklin, Tennessee, also is a business administration minor.<\/p>\n

After Davis and Shavers made an in-class presentation about how different funding streams can affect whether students can eat breakfast and lunch at school, their proposal was submitted for a Social Work Day on the Hill presentation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could do a presentation about a bill that we either wanted to advocate for, amend or oppose that\u2019s on the floor currently,\u201d Davis explained, \u201cso we wrote about a bill requiring all schools in Tennessee to provide free breakfast and lunch. We wanted to advocate for this bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis and Shavers had the opportunity to speak with the bill\u2019s sponsor, Bradley County Rep. Kevin Raper, to learn more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a meeting with him to talk about that, other legislative things and his perspective on being a representative,\u201d Shavers said. \u201cIt was a really cool experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Womack said most social workers do not come to the program because they want to do policy; they want to work directly with people in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolicy feels very distant from that,\u201d she said, \u201cso I feel like I have to do a lot of cheerleading around policy to get them enthusiastic about how decisions that get made\u2014whether it\u2019s at an agency, whether it has to do with grant funding, whether it has to do with what\u2019s happening at the state or federal government level\u2014really affects what they can do when they\u2019re out there in those communities and those homes and those offices working with people directly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Shavers, \u201cTo find something you\u2019re interested in, then you do some research, then to talk to the person who made it and better understand exactly what we were researching made it more real. It was really cool to see how our little passion about that turned into a bigger thing that Hannah got to share with a ton of people.\u201d<\/p>\n
