Social Work Clubs and Organizations

 

SOCIAL WORK CLUB

 

The Social Work Club at Delta State gives students an opportunity to challenge and implement those philosophies and values taught and learned within the classroom.  It is an outlet for growth and service and supports the students in their understanding of relationships among individuals, families, groups, and communities.  The club encourages students and faculty to become acquainted with each other outside the classroom. 

Students participate in such activities as seminars/forums and field trips, as well as fund-raising, to expand their knowledge about the processes of their profession.  They also have the opportunity to participate in the process of changes made in the Social Work Program.  The social work club officers also serve on different department committees.  All social work majors are eligible for membership in the social work club.
