By Venetta Campbell, Faculty Advisor to the Associated Students of Social Work (ASSW)
As we all begin the 2017-2018 school year, the members of the ASSW Board and I extend a warm welcome to everyone and again invite all graduate and undergraduate students to join our exciting student organization. Membership is free! Your active participation in this vibrant student organization is an excellent way to network with peers and faculty, discuss common interests in social work and social justice, get useful information, and participate in our social events and projects. Plus...it’s a lot of fun.
Starting this Fall semester, we will be ASSW meetings to accommodate both our DAYTIME students and our EVENING students:
Also, the following student organizations and groups operate under the auspices of the ASSW:
Social work students are welcome to join one or more of these Committees and groups. Please check or ASSW bulletin board and BeachBoard for announcements of each committee’s events throughout the semester.
Our new ASSW Board is working hard on planning the Fall semester’s exciting events – and we need your ideas! This semester we held our annual SOCIAL WORK WELCOME gathering on Monday, September 11th from 12:00-2:00 in the SPA Courtyard (and again from 5:00-7:00 in the Student Center) with pizza and drinks, a faculty/staff-student mixer, and other activities later this semester to benefit our school and local social service agencies. Please come by and learn about our student organizations!
ASSW will continue to sell our awesome “CSULB School of Social Work” t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies as our ASSW group fundraiser. You may purchase these items at our meetings or watch for announcements of our t-shirt sales dates throughout the semester. The proceeds from these sales help support the Association’s numerous projects during the academic year helping our local community. We count on your support for ASSW and our school!
The ASSW Board joins me in wishing all of you a great and productive Fall Semester in our exciting CSULB School of Social Work! We hope to see you at our next ASSW meeting!
