Kathryn (Katie) McClain-Meeder

Clinical Associate Professor, Field Education

"I’m interested in helping students connect their classroom learning to field experiences, stretching them to use their skills and abilities, and apply a trauma-informed lens to their work. I believe it is through the fusion of research and practice, that the best social workers are formed."
