社会工作社
The 社会工作社 at Delta State University gives students an opportunity to challenge and implement the professional knowledge, 值, and skills taught and learned within the classroom. It is an outlet for growth and service and supports BSW students in their understanding of relationships among individuals, 家庭, 组, 和社区. The club encourages students and faculty to become acquainted with each other outside the classroom and provides a means of the professional socialization of students into the profession of social work.
All social work majors are eligible for membership in the 社会工作社 provided that they have a GPA above 2.25 and are committed to being responsible and ethical. Students must demonstrate professional integrity in club membership and leadership positions. Each student’s membership and/or leadership within the club is informally approved by the social work faculty. Membership and/or leadership in the club may be denied to students who engage in unethical behavior and choose not to engage in remediation.
Students may also participate in such activities as seminars/forums and field trips, as well as fund-raising, to expand their knowledge about the processes of the social work profession. 每年春天, the DSU BSW Program plans a field trip or conference for students for professional socialization purposes. Such trips may involve attending Social Work Lobby Day at the state capital and visiting relevant museums or community resources or attending social work conferences such as MS NASW, 桶, CSWE, or the Alabama/Mississippi Social Work Education Conference, MS Children’s Advocacy Center’s One Loud Voice, or the MS Conference on Social Welfare.
