The Student Social Work Organization is a student organization for anyone with an interest in social work.  SSWO was re-established in September 1993 at MTSU under the initiation of Flip Leonard, a social work student, who served as president until 1994. Currently, Dr. Ariana Postlethwait serves as the SSWO faculty advisor.
