The faculty and I are very excited that you are interested in the Social Work Program at the University of Mississippi. We offer the BSW and MSW degrees. Please choose an option to learn more about our program.
The Student Social Work Organization is a volunteer group through which students can develop a support network of peers; develop skills in organization, leadership, and volunteerism; and provide social work visibility in the Oxford-University community.
SSWO also provides input into the Department of Social Work operations and offerings by serving on the advisory board and attending faculty meetings. Members are encouraged to perform 20 hours of volunteer service each semester.
Membership dues are nominal and are paid each semester. Additionally, the members select new officers including the president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer each semester. Meetings are generally held every three to four weeks over a noon hour. The group decides upon academic enrichment, social, fundraising, and service events.
Recent activities include service projects of fundraising for Angel Ranch and Christmas stockings for Head Start children. Social network activities include spring cookouts, an end of the semester study break breakfast, and holiday parties. Tupelo and Southaven students are invited to all meetings andactivities.
