The purpose of the Rotaract/ Social Work Club is to encourage and promote service not only throughout the college, and surrounding community, but throughout the world. Students will be working on two community service projects during the year; one to improve the local community, and one international project with other university students in another part of the world. Social Work majors are encouraged to participate in the club activities however, membership is open to all students of the College.
Phi Alpha Honor Society
The Social Work Department of Alvernia College was granted a chapter
charter in the Phi Alpha National Honor Society
under the name of Zeta Upsilon. The purpose of this organization
is to provide a closer bond among students of social work, and to enter into
a more intimate fellowship with those dedicated to the promotion of humanitarian
goals and ideals by a professional group for which quality educational
preparation
is deemed imperative. Students and faculty involved
in social work at Alvernia College resolve to
sponsor a Chapter of Phi Alpha National Honor Society, thereby to foster
high standards of educations for social work and to invite into membership
those who have attained academic excellence of
a 3.0 (4.0 scale) overall grade point average.
