Cheers to Michigan Live for this article about Debra Morgan and her daughter Chia of Flint.

The Morgan family already runs Well of Hope, a nonprofit that addresses violence, crime and poverty, from a church where Debra’s husband is pastor.

Now Debra and Chia are about to graduate from the University of Michigan – Flint with duo bachelors degress in social work. They attended all classes together, with Debra taking notes on paper and Chia using the more modern approach of typing lecture points into her smartphone.

“Getting a degree in social work has helped us better understand the people we want to serve so we can do even more,” said Chia, 24.
