MSW student Angela Chin has been selected as U-M’s 2026 National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Student of the Year. Chin’s nomination was based on her outstanding leadership and contributions, her commitment to the Schools MSW program and the NASW Code of Ethics. She will be honored at a ceremony in Lansing in April.
"I am honored to have been selected to represent the University of Michigan. While my name is associated with the award, it reflects the support of those who uplift me: friends and peers who believe in my leadership, staff and faculty who provide me with educational and practical opportunities to make a difference, and loved ones who encourage me to pursue my dreams,” said Chin. This recognition strengthens my determination to tackle our Grand Challenge of harnessing technology for social good, especially as we navigate the rise of AI."
