Chrissy Rockwell, Vice President

I am a 4th-year student in the Graduate Social Work Department on the Philadelphia Campus. A proud Women’s College Alumna, I have my BA in Politics from Marymount College, Tarrytown, where I also majored in Women’s Studies.  Throughout my 15-year career in the nonprofit sector, primarily in fundraising, communications, and government relations, I have been blessed to help advance the mission of important causes. I look forward to bringing my professional skills and event planning and administration expertise to the GSA as Vice President. Several years ago, through personal circumstances, I was exposed to Social Workers and their vital mission. These encounters encouraged me to move to the front lines of nonprofit work and pursue Social Work as a career. I love the MSW program at the Philadelphia Campus and its focus on Social Justice—a passion of mine, especially when viewed through a Catholic Lens. I have enjoyed my graduate experience at West Chester Philadelphia Campus. I am very involved here, having served on the Student and Community Engagement Committee, The Philadelphia Center Student Planning Committee, The Graduate Social Work Student Advisory Board, and as a Graduate Assistant for the Philadelphia Success Center for three semesters. I am also a member of the Tri-Alpha (First Generation) and Phi-Alpha (Social Work) Honors Societies. I am excited to bring a different voice to the GSA to represent Philadelphia students in decisions that impact us. I identify as a disabled student and as a woman in recovery.  During my free time, you can find me at one of Philadelphia’s many karaoke nights or at home in South Philadelphia with my cat, Lamb Chop.

Hi! My name is Thomas Schenk, and I am a first-year graduate student in the Master of Business Administration Program at WCU. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Business Management at WCU in 2023. While in my undergrad, I served as the President for the Student Veterans Group at WCU, that helps support 500+ veterans with education benefits.

Sarah Griffin

My name is Sarah Griffin and I am a recent MSW graduate from West Chester University. I worked as an intern for the Academic Success Program on campus and was able to build a great rapport with students and staff. I have gotten great feedback from peers and staff about my genuine passion to help peers become resilient and also reach their full potential as students. I am excited to be enrolled in the HEPSA program because my dream job is to be a case manager for students on campus experiencing adversities that may get in the way of their academic success. I built great connections and also great resources on campus and off campus. West Chester saved my life and gave me the opportunity to move out of my neighborhood of North Philadelphia where education is very scarce, and crime is increasing. I want to advocate for students success that everyone gets the chance to further their education and increase the number of students that actually obtain a degree and finish what they started.
