Home > Social Work Action Group
SWAG is a registered student organization for Social Work majors and minors. This group has been an integral part of the School of Social Work at the University of Arkansas for over a decade. A faculty advisor meets regularly with SWAG; however, the organization is for students and is run by students. The primary objective of SWAG is to enhance the learning experience of the social work student while attending the university. In addition to an expanded knowledge base, emphasis is placed upon promoting activities that will augment the student’s awareness and experience in social work. The SWAG organization also offers the opportunity for leadership development through its formalized structure and numerous committee activities. Through student involvement in SWAG, students can increase their involvement in social work issues thus becoming better prepared for a career in social work. Goals of SWAG include creating a supportive network between students, faculty and staff, conducting projects that help the community, and providing information to students that will help them further their education and careers.
