Social Work Student Organization (SWSO)

Welcome to The Social Work Student Organization (SWSO)

The purpose of the SWSO is to provide a space for students to connect, explore, and discuss issues related to their development and the broader social work community.

SWSO also functions as a student-led organization that identifies and engages in projects over the course of a semester or academic year. These efforts are intended to benefit the USM community and the broader public with a focus on addressing social needs and strengthening our connections (e.g., organizing a food pantry collection, raising awareness around a particular issue, or hosting a de-stress event for your peers).

For more information and to get involved, please contact SWSO Faculty Advisors: BSW Program Coordinator, Dr.Gentles-Gibbs (natallie.gentlesgibbs@maine.edu) | MSW Program Coordinator, Dr. Giamportone (kimberly.giamportone@maine.edu).
