THE UNIVERSITY OF FINDLAY SOCIAL WORK CLUB

Officially recognized as a student organization by the University, the Social Work Club gives you an opportunity to implement those philosophies and values taught and learned in the classroom. It also encourages students and faculty to become better acquainted with each other outside the classroom. You will participate in such activities as professional seminars/forums, field trips, community service and philanthropic projects, all of which allow expansion of knowledge about the social work profession. In recent years field trips have been taken to such diverse locations as the State Mental Hospital in Toledo, Native American powwows, state adult and juvenile correctional institutions, and the annual meeting of the Ohio College Association of Social Work Educators. The club has also raked leaves for elderly homeowners, helped raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, videotaped life histories of senior citizens, and hosted the annual dance for the local senior citizens' center.

Members of the club also have the opportunity to participate in the development of changes in the Social Work Program by serving on the Social Work Program Advisory Council. 

More information about the club may be obtained from social work faculty or student members of the club.
