The Organization of Student Social Workers help Habitat for Humanity's Build Blitz.

Mission
The mission of the MWSU Social Work Program is to prepare undergraduate students for ethical and effective generalist social work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities in Northwest Missouri and surrounding areas.  Social work graduates will value human dignity, social and economic justice, and human and cultural diversity.  They will competently serve individuals from diverse backgrounds including persons who are poor, vulnerable, oppressed, and living in rural areas.  They will work to reduce poverty, oppression, and discrimination by making government and social service agencies more just and responsive to consumer needs.  In addition to preparing competent social workers, MWSU's Social Work Program is dedicated to offering its professional expertise and academic resources to support community efforts to enhance human well being. 

Goals
MWSU's Social Work Program is guided by several goals and objectives which are based on basic social work values and principles. The primary educational objective of the BSW Program is to prepare graduates for generalist social work practice with individuals, groups, families, organizations, and communities. Students will gain knowledge and skills in the areas of values and ethics, diversity, social and economic justice, populations-at-risk, human behavior and the social environment, social welfare policy and services, social work practice, and research.  The program culminates in a 456 hour supervised practicum, which allows students to work as a student social worker in an area human service agency.
