Sociology/Social Work Club

The SOC/SOWK Club is a student organization recognized by the Mary Baldwin College Senate. The club was established in 2002 and chartered in 2003 by an enthusiastic group of sociology and social work students who wished to formalize the community service efforts and social activities of their peers and professors.

The club is open to all students, faculty, and staff with interests in service to the campus and community. Club members meet monthly to socialize, plan, and engage, and are involved with three to four service activities and fundraisers each semester.

Club events and community service include:

  • new student orientation for students interested in sociology or social work
  • annual hunger banquet to raise hunger awareness
  • car wash and annual Air Band Show to raise funds for local service organizations
  • Halloween celebration at a local nursing home
  • Thanksgiving dinner at a local homeless shelter
