MSW Student Association (MSWSA)

About MSWSA

The MSWSA is a student organization that ALL Stanislaus State MSW students are able to participate in by attending events, voting during elections, and joining committees. The MSW Student Association serves as an avenue for students to collaborate and connect with their classmates through social events and monthly meetings.

What We Do

The Association also supports engaging students in NASW events, such as Lobby Days, and involving MSW Students in other Social Work events, including volunteer opportunities. In addition, the MSW Student Association serves as a mediator between the student body and faculty members, allowing for student interests and concerns to be addressed. It is our goal to bridge the gap between the two entities.

Student Association Officers 2023-2024

Lesly Andrades

My name is Lesly Andrade and I am the new MSWSA Treasurer for the 2023-2024 school year. I am so excited to take on this role alongside some of our colleagues to advocate on behalf of all MSW students! We have some exciting things in store for you this year and we can’t wait for you to get involved! A little bit about me: I am in the 2-year program and will be graduating this upcoming May. I am a first-generation college graduate, having received my undergraduate degree in Business Administration. After receiving my B.A., I realized that social work was my true calling and that I wanted to be in the business of helping people, so I went back to school! Currently, I am working as a Refugee Resettlement Case Manager, helping newly arrived refugee families get all the resources they need to start a new life in America. After graduation I plan to pursue my LCSW and want to get involved in macro social work.

Maria Oregel Cervantes

My name is Maria Oregel Cervantes, I am in the 3-year cohort and will be graduating this upcoming year, Spring 2024. I am a First-Generation student and have been a DACA recipient since 2015. My journey guided me to social work, I healed many aspects of my life when I was introduced to social work. I want to become a school social worker and extend social work to Spanish speaking communities. I am looking forward to many blessings coming next year, 2024. One of them is to become a Mom!
