Change the World
Sunghyun Hong, MSW ’19
Thank You for Helping Me Change the World
I want to create a system where everyone has a lifelong foundation of mental health and psychological well-being. I want to help build a system that cultivates resilience, hope and compassion.
Why I'm Here
U-M offered me very generous scholarships. That’s how I decided to come. If I did not receive the scholarship, the fear of paying back loans might have hindered me from returning to school at this time of my life.
Scholarship
School of Social Work Scholarship
Impact of the Scholarship
Social work is about collective movements. My scholarship reflects that. Many people make gifts, and it creates huge synergy to support students who then go back to the community and make even more ripples. Eventually I want to do for someone else what these donors have done for me.
