The Social Work Constituency Council, or SWCC, is one of nine Constituency Councils on the UTA Campus. It is for all undergraduate and graduate School for Social Work Students.
The Social Work Constituency Council main purposes:
- represent social work students in the larger UTA university community
- provide social work students with educational programs, and relevant services and information, on a regular basis
- advocate for the students through its programs, publications, and policy work
The Council enables students to become more involved with a diverse community and involved with other organizations within the UTA community. The SWCC encourages all students to become involved with any organization at the school of social work. The Council is your pathway to becoming empowered. The SWCC office is currently located in the Social Work student lounge in building-B.
