The Social Work club is open to all students, regardless of major. General information on the social work club can be found here.
The mission
of the social work profession is rooted in a set of core values.
These core values, embraced by social workers throughout the
profession's history, are the foundation of social work's unique
purpose and perspective. Core values, and the ethical principles
that flow from them, must be balanced within the context and
complexity of the human experience.

| Club Highlights |
|
In 2009/2010, club members organised a coat drive, hat and glove drive, participated in the AIDS Walk, Breast Cancer Awareness Walk, made Easter Baskets for women and children in YWCA Shelter and went the the NSSWA (School Social Workers) Conference in St. Louis, MO.
In 2008/2009, club members collected coats, marched for HIV and Breast Cancer Awareness, wrapped presents for children and more. The climax was a trip to Chicago to work at women's shelters, pack food for distribution to local food closets and visit the Hull House Museum. We'll be just as active this year!
