Toni Halgas (email me)
Assistant Professor of Social Work
Degrees: Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, master's degree in Social Work, Indiana University.
Professor Halgas joined the faculty of Saint Joseph's College in 2004 to teach courses in social work, both macro (community development) and micro (counseling for individuals, families, and groups). She spent the first 10 years of her career as an elementary school teacher; it wasn't until she provided educational consulting to families in Europe that she found her true calling. "When I worked with those families, I realized I was serving them more as a counselor and less as an educator," she explained. While in Europe, she established an international youth ministry in Prague (a ministry that still exists today). Since returning to the United States, she's served as Director of two pregnancy care centers in northwest Indiana and an Educational Therapist in an adolescent residential behavioral health center. "Teaching Social Work allows me to provide my students with the tools they need to change the world. I want to reproduce the passion I have for service and help students to live up to their full potential," she said. |
