About Our Organization

Social Work Association is committed to providing meetings and events focused on community involvement, social justice, career exploration, and self-care. We are open to students of all majors, as we find that the social justice component of social work is something that students of all disciplines seek.

Meeting Times

We typically meet on weeknights after night class so that all students have the opportunity to attend. Our meetings are monthly at 9:15 p.m. in the Student Center. During these meetings, we tend to have a social justice topic, or theme such as October when we honor National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
