Student Engagement
One of the things students love most about GSSW is its vibrant, passionate and inquisitive community of scholars. From student organizations to wellness programming, there are many ways to engage with your classmates outside of the classroom. Student Affairs staff also work to enrich your graduate school experience through special programs and an array of supportive services.
