Council of
Student Social Workers
CSSW is an organization devoted
to the unique interests of MU social work students. Membership provides
opportunities for support, collaboration, leadership, and service.
CSSW hosts many activities that
are beneficial for students. Guest speakers from various fields
provide insights into their areas. Events are planned each semester
to enhance communications between students and faculty. Members
also work to better the community with such activities as the United
Way Day of Caring and the Voluntary Action Center’s Holiday
Food and Gift Drive. CSSW helps inform local youth about the profession
and assists with various School-sponsored functions.
Membership is open to all undergraduate
and graduate students in the School. A membership fee of $2.50 each
semester helps to fund events and activities. Contact the Student
Services Coordinator for more information.

Phi Alph Honor Society is a national honor society
for students seeking social work degrees. Its purpose is to create
close bonds among social work students, promote humanitarian goals
and ideas, foster high standards of scholarship, and aid in preparedness
for professional social work roles.
Students are invited to join Phi Alpha based on their
eligibility. Undergraduate students must have junior-standing in
the School, have completed 9 hours of required social work classes
with a GPA of 3.5, and have achieved an overall GPA of 3.0 to be
eligible. Graduate students must have completed a minimum of one
term of course work, have full-time status (or the entire first-year
of course work if part-time), and have achieved a GPA of 3.75 to
be eligible.
A lifelong commitment to excellence, recognition
for academic excellence, camaraderie, and support are natural outcomes
of Phi Alpha membership. An initiation fee of $8.00 is required
by the National Society, and a $32.00 fee is required by the local
chapter to support the Phi Alpha Honor Society gold medallion presented
to all eligible members at graduation. Contact the Student
Services Coordinator for more information.
