Social Work Alumni Group
(SWAG)

The Department of Social Work, under its multitude feathers, also is working on the strengthening of its Alumnus Base. The growing of the Alumnus Base, for the advancement of the students learning as well as to bring about progress in the Alumni – Department Interaction, we have been furthering the concept of “Alumni Meet”/ “Social Work Alumni Meet” popularly known and launched as SWAG which has its key focus areas such as:

• Student – Alumni interaction
• Developing and maintaining Alumni relations
• Chalking out areas of Alumni Contribution towards Department Development
• Creating Employability Avenues through SWAG Members

Over the years, the Department has undergone many positive/ Constructive & progressive transformations and we are standing tall with the nurturing that the Alumni have put in our Department since its inception. After all, we are about relationships – finding ways to attach our alumni to their alma maters.

SWAG is thus a platform, which provides a prospect of supplementing more liaisons between the Alumnus Base and the Department keeping in mind the development of the Department and the ongoing students and as a member of the Alumni, they also have the privilege of helping shape the future of Department students.

One of the most important and logical connections for alumni is with academic affairs. After all, the greatest impact the institution has had on the alumnus is his/her academic experience while a student. SWAG/ The alumni association can collaborate with the institution’s continuing education department to connect alumni to credit programs, certification and training programs, or programs that simply respond to intellectual interest or curiosity.

SWAG/ The Alumni Meet largely helps in contributing towards supporting the various pedagogical features of the Department such as:

• Lending a Helping Hand in Field Work Placements and Block Placements
• Extending their practical knowledge and skills to class room by conducting guest lectures, orientation lectures and various field visits etc.
• Providing help during the organizing of Study Tour and Study Camp
