Student Association for Social Work

The Student Association for Social Work is a forum for networking among all students who are enrolled or interested in the social work program. The organization’s purpose is to promote a sense of community for shared learning, support and exposure to the profession and to professional social workers who function in diverse practice settings.

The organization’s activities provide a mechanism through which the university becomes aware of social work values and the TWU Social Work Program. Activities include participation in departmental programs, hosting of new social work students, mid-semester study breaks, peer advising, guest speakers and volunteer service projects. The organization’s president serves on the Social Work Program Advisory Council and attends three meetings annually. Minimal annual membership dues are collected.

If you are interested in applying for membership or supporting an upcoming initiative, contact us at saswtwudenton@gmail.com.
