Student Life
The School of Social Work sponsors service projects and other activities for the social work student body. The service projects provide pre-professional opportunities that enhance the student's confidence and competence through actual "hands-on" experiences. Such real life experiences also help the student decide if social work is the profession for them. Other activities and trips are great ways for the students to learn, and sometimes receive college credit, while having fun. Below is a list of a few of the projects, trips, and activities our students have engaged in:
- Promoted Domestic Violence Awareness week on campus
- Volunteered for Chattanooga's Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
