Description: "Family and relatives are not synonymous. Considering someone family requires showing love; love is an action that often involves selflessness. Love is putting someone before yourself when they need it, lending an ear or a long embrace, and making sacrifices. We have relatives who do not act like family and friends who do. Being there unconditionally with love and understanding, not just when it is easy or convenient – that is what makes someone family." Courtney McNair is an administrative support specialist in the Academic Advising Center and Brittany Lara is a graduate student in the Master of Social Work program.
