Dear SSW Students,

Are you committed to making the SSW a more socially just learning community? Do you want to develop your leadership skills? The SSW Student Advisory Council (SAC) is looking to fill vacancies for this academic year.

SAC is a group comprised of student representatives from each cohort and staff/faculty advisors. SAC has worked hard to create a myriad of student centered changes at the UW School of Social Work. SAC has worked with the SSW administration to continue to develop shared governance, a process where students would have increased input in the running of the School of Social Work. SAC is where students like you can build the confidence needed to advocate for future clients in large bureaucratic organizations by advocating for your cohort in the complex university systems. SAC also brings energy to community building efforts and creates opportunities for engaging with your classmates and building connections, such as the SAC Spring Fling  hosted in May.
