Student Association of Social Workers (SASW)

Student Association of Social Workers (SASW) is a recognized organization of the University with membership open to all TCU students who are interested in social work. The original organization began in the spring of 1978 in order to:

  • Promote knowledge about social work at TCU
  • Facilitate communication among students and between students and faculty
  • Provide mutual support among students
  • Promote social action and community service

SASW sponsors activities at TCU such as Hunger Week's Heal Hunger Run, Fort Worth Civic Orchestra's Teddy Bear Concert, Student Day at the Texas Legislature, and Social Work Day at the United Nations. We hold monthly meetings with speakers, games and discussion groups. Additionally, SASW provides information to the general campus about the profession of social work and the TCU Department of Social Work at our "Get Social with Social Work" and "Social Workers Make Change" events.

As SASW students, we are involved on campus in many ways. We are RA's, leaders in groups like Invisible Children and the Hunger Campaign, and members of honor societies, sororities, fraternities and athletics. Besides the 480 hours seniors commit to their required internship in non-profit, private and government agencies in the community, most students volunteer in the community as well. With these activities, SASW students make a major impact on TCU and the surrounding area. What SASW accomplishes is impressive, and speaks volumes about the quality of social workers who graduate from TCU.
