Professional Groups
Social Work education works closely with the National Association for
Social Workers (NASW) and abides by the Code of Ethics. Students are
strongly encouraged to join NASW, and remain active as long as they
practice social work. The social work program is also linked to the
Counsel on Social Work Education (CSWE), the national accreditation
body for social work programs. CSWE also hosts an annual meeting reflecting
the needs of social work education. The social work program also has strong
ties to the Association for Baccalaureate Program Directors, Inc. (BPD),
which works with undergraduate faculty and students to promote excellence
in undergraduate social work education. Other groups with which the social
work program is affiliated are the National Association for Black Social
Workers (NABSW), the National Association for Christian Social Workers
(NACSW), the National Association for Jewish Social Workers (NAJSW),
the Child Welfare League of America, and Family Services of America.
There are numerous Social Work groups that students participate in. A tentative list is provided below.
