Student Social Work Organization
45 Undergraduate Members

In February 2007, the Student Social Work Organization at Xavier was formed. The organization wasted little time in starting to hold events and plan activities. During the 2007-2008 academic year activities included holding a Violence Awareness Panel & Clothesline Project, a Coats, Cash and Can Drive for the Freestore Foodbank, Movie fundraisers for the club, presentations on homelessness, and participation in the Cincinnati Take Back the Night event. The organization was also honored by having its founding president honored as BSW Student of the Year by NASW Ohio Chapter, Region VI.

Officers for the club include Lauren Hendrickson, president; Jen Wickline, treasurer, Shandyn Massengill, vice president; Cheryl Byrd, secretary; and Kelli Raia and Meghan Snyder and handling public relations. Dr. Margo Heydt serves as the club advisor.

In the same newsletter, Annette Davis class of 2008 published an article on testifying in the courts.
