Get Involved - Student Leadership Oppourtunities

Student involvement is important at the School of Social Work! The student executive is formed for the purpose of representing each graduating class; it is elected by all voting members of the class.

Positions and responsibilities are distributed during the Fall BSW orientation. Elections for incoming BSW cohorts occur early in the Fall semester. The election process for incoming BSW students is coordinated by the 4th year BSW Students. The various positions require commitment from the individual(s) to fulfil the duties and responsibilities of each role, including regular attendance at respective meetings.

The Dean and Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies) meet monthly in the Fall and Winter semesters with representatives from the executive groups. Attendance is required by the President and Vice-President of each executive as well as a representative from each second degree cohort. These meetings are an important way for students to communicate information with the School’s administration.
