Thanks to Dr. Kratz, my idea of policy practice is rich, robust and infused with specificity and purpose. It boils down to instruction and research, following evidence-based practices, and getting out in the community to advocate for change. Having given us these skills, Dr. Kratz nudges baby social workers out of the nest, and we are ready and willing to fly! " and "Genuinely kind and awesomely efficient is what comes to mind when I think about Stacy! I’ve had the pleasure of knowing her during my 8 years as a Professor at USC because we started around the same time and one of the semesters she was the Lead for one of my Policy courses. I was impressed with Stacy’s ability to be efficient, resourceful, and detailed oriented. And, undoubtedly, Stacy’s extreme kindness shined through making meetings and challenges with students much easier to handle. When you would hear her heart-felt laughter and personality fill the space, it really made the team know we could rely on Stacy for what we needed for our Policy course, it really was a pleasure to work with her!
