Greta Robbearts is a Social Work major from Quincy, Illinois. She plans to pursue a Masters in social work through the 5-year track at Mizzou, and then go on to gain field experience.

“Mizzou has so many things at student’s fingertips. Everything you need is on campus! The programs are set up for student success and usually involve hands-on learning.”

Greta is a member of Sigma Eta Rho, the CHS fraternity, as well as a member of the Council of Student Social Workers.

What made you choose Mizzou?

I chose Mizzou because of the emphasis on tradition and alumni. I could tell just from visiting that it is a very tight-knit community that you’ll always be a part of. I chose Social Work because the program has built-in practicum experience and a fast track through the Master’s program.

What advice would you give to incoming Mizzou CHS students?

My best advice would be to start networking right away. I did this through SER, and now we get to hear from guest speakers, meet other CHS students in a meaningful way, and be a part of a community that makes college feel less intimidating.

What is your favorite ice cream spot in Columbia?

I love Sparky’s! When I lived in the dorms, my roommate and I walked there several times throughout the year. It was always a fun adventure with a delicious ending.
