The University of Wisconsin-Superior Department of Human Behavior, Justice and Diversity has welcomed two new professor Rachel Forsyth and Meg Chrusciel.

Forsyth teaches Social Work for the department and beginning this semester is teaching Introduction to Social Work and Social Welfare Policy Advocacy. Beginning in the spring semester of 2024 Forsyth will begin teaching Introduction to Social Work (online), the Ecology of Social Welfare Policy, and Field Seminar for Social Work Majors completing their 450-hour internship. Forsyth believes in bringing academic concepts to life by sharing her own professional experiences.

She also looks forward to partnering with people in her field who look to share their personal experiences as well. “I think the greatest thing I can offer students and the university is a passion for ensuring students have real-world experiences – both inside and outside of the classroom,” said Forsyth.

Meg Chrusciel is an assistant professor of criminal justice and legal studies. Chrusciel currently teaches Survey of Criminal Justice, Police and Society, and Criminology.

Chrusciel believes she brings passion to what she teaches and looks forward to bringing a different perspective to the program. “I believe in justice and want to inspire our future criminal justice practitioners and scholars to keep asking tough and meaningful questions,” said Chrusciel. Before coming to UWS Chrusciel spent time in North Carolina for 15 years working for High Point University.
