If anyone knows how to listen to a group and fight for their needs, it's social workers. This is the whole purpose of University-wide student government!
For the school of social work to be fully represented, we need more senators. One full-time senate seat is open, as well as multiple alternate seats. Meetings are typically monthly, and as an alternate, you would only need to attend a meeting if another regular senator could not attend. It's a great experience, especially if you are interested in advocacy or policy work, or believe that the School of Social Work's interests are not fully represented within the University's policies.
