Students
The Sociology Student Association
The Sociology Student Association (SSA) is an organization of Sociology undergraduate and graduate students who work together to plan film series, service projects and social events that provide an opportunity for the students to get to know each other and faculty in a more informal atmosphere.
In December 2003 students help wrap presents for local institutionalized kids.
In January 2004 the association organized "Bowling with Sociologists."
In Spring 2004 the SSA continued its coalition with the Apology and Reconciliation Committee. The SSA is always involved with organizing graduation celebrations for our outgoing seniors and master's students.
