Student Life

Student Groups

We support students in forming groups which they feel would be engaging, fun and community-building. Student groups ebb and flow based upon student interest each year. You can find more information and contact information on currently active student groups here.

Students wishing to create an SSW Student Group should submit a name, description, names and contact info for the student leaders and the name of a faculty/staff advisor to Student Services to request creating an official SSW student group. This process allows both recognition of the group within the School of Social Work as well as access to some funding for group activities. Student group leaders who would like to access SSW funding through a reimbursement process (up to $150/year/group) should email Student Services for more information. Groups are also encouraged to pursue UW Student Group status as a registered student organization for access to more funding and resources.

There are also many student-run clubs at the University of Washington operated through the Student Activities Office.
