SSA meets today at 4 PM in Lutz 132. Join them!

The Sociology Student Association (SSA) will hold its first fall meeting Monday, September 9, at 4:00 PM in Lutz Hall 132 (large conference room just inside the main door of the Sociology Department). Snacks will be served, and the group will decide on the projects/activities they want to accomplish this year.

Remember, there are no GPA requirements or membership fees to join. You just need to have an interest in sociology!

• The SSA was formed to promote interest in the study of sociology, sociological research, and other social and intellectual activities. The SSA is affiliated with the national honor society for sociology, Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD), but unlike AKD, the SSA has no GPA or major requirements, nor does it require students to pay a fee to join. Rather, the SSA is open to any and all undergraduate and graduate sociology majors, minors, and those who are simply interested in sociology but are not in the program.
• The SSA is a great opportunity to learn more about sociology, network with sociology faculty and students, participate in service projects, and add SSA membership to their résumé. Students also have opportunities to become officers of the organization.  In the past, the SSA has toured a local prison, attended a debate at the law school regarding school desegregation in Louisville, participated in "Take Back the Night" on campus, joined an environmental cleanup day at a local park, and organized a voter registration drive.

If you are interested in learning more, please contact Dr. Jasmine Whiteside or Dr. Dave Roelfs, the sociology faculty advisors for SSA.

The group looks forward to having you join them!
