Social work students at the College of St. Scholastica will be learning more than the ins and outs of the profession.

The Minnesota-based school, which has a campus in the Valley, will be offering a course called “The Competency of Compassion,” which will look at different aspects of compassion, over a four-class meeting sequence.

Marcia Runnberg is St. Scholastica’s Undergraduate Social Work Program Director.
