The College of St. Scholastica, a 103-year-old Catholic Benedictine college that prepares students for “a life with purpose,” expanded its Minnesota campus to Arizona in 2014. CSS has a rich history in social work, health care and nursing education. It has forged a partnership with Mesa Community College, and this spring is offering a class, The Competency of Compassion, which emphasizes the importance of compassion in social work. This partnership further enhances the social work programs at not only MCC, but at other institutions of higher education throughout the Valley.
