GSWA Membership and Activities

The MSW Program has a vibrant Graduate Social Work Association as a part of campus life. As an affiliate of the Graduate and Professional Student Government, the Graduate Social Work Association qualifies for funds for continuing education and research activities. The Graduate Social Work Association was chartered in Fall 2001 in accordance with the Graduate and Professional Student Government by-laws. The president of the Graduate Social Work Association serves as the representative from the School of Social Work to the GPSG organization. Student activity fees fund the organization’s programs and activities, including travel to professional conferences, speakers, and research activities. The GPSG sponsors an annual research fair with monetary awards to excelling students. Elections are held at the School of Social Work each spring for the following year’s officers. All students are automatic members of the Graduate Social Work Association; there are no dues. An appointed faculty member from the School of Social Work serves as the advisor to the Graduate Social Work Association. Click above for more information.
