The goal of GSWA is to support MSW students. We believe that connecting with fellow students and faculty builds community and provides an opportunity to expand resources.
How it works
GSWA will organize a variety of fun events for students to connect.
All of our events and merchandise purchases are worth 1 point, and once per semester we will have a major event that is worth 4 points. Major events usually include the Welcome Mixer in the Fall and Lobby Days in the Spring.
Students who participate in the mentor/mentee program will earn 1 point per semester of involvement, 1 per each role. there is a maximum of 4 points per year should you be both a mentor and mentee.
*adjustments in point values have been made due to COVID-19 to provide more opportunities for stole points
Required Points to Earn a Stole
Need to earn 7 points per semester (1 yr. program = 14, 2 yr. program = 28 etc.
· A minimum of 7 points per semester is required you may acquire more points in one semester but they will not roll over to the next.
Point requirements changed in 2018 because we are no longer allowed to distribute graduation cords. SDSU now requires that student organizations only use stoles to represent organization involvement. As a result, point requirements had to be adjusted to accommodate the new rules.
In order to be eligible to receive a graduation stole for graduation you must have the required points by May 1st of your graduating year. Point totals will be uploaded to this site towards the end of every semester.
GSWA is here for you! If you have an extenuating circumstance that prevents you from being involved, please feel free to reach out to our secretaries and/or presidents. We can make arrangements should something unexpected come up.
