Student Social Work Organization (SSWO)
The SSWO's purpose is to stimulate interest in the field of social work within the University and community. The organization holds regular meetings, some of which feature guest speakers whom students request. SSWO also sponsors activities and community projects throughout the year. SSWO organizes student trips (at a reasonable cost!) to attend area social work conferences. Officers serve as mentors for any pre-social work students and students recently accepted to major status, affording them insight into upcoming classes, practicum information and other issues related to the UAB Social Work Program. SSWO publishes a newsletter to inform social work students about upcoming events.
UAB students who wish to join the SSWO will find membership applications in the Department of Anthropology and Social Work office (Ullman Building, room 339).
