"Social work students are the future of the profession. There is no greater thrill than helping students discover their hidden potentials, develop a personal worldview and create a 'professional social work self'."

Social work education is a passion of Professor Scott. His goal is to mold minds and develop skills as a Christian who does social work. "Abraham Kuyper would see social work as an important and necessary component of a Christian college education." To bring Shalom, social justice and restoration to the world is the role of the social worker.

Professor Scott and his wife Carol attend the Vineyard Church. He plays Latin percussion, is proud of his daughter Lindsay who is an elementary teacher in New York City, and enjoys cheering for his son Derek who is a professional runner.
