We, the students of UMB SSW, establish the Student Leadership Coalition (SLC) to unify our voice, foster inclusive advocacy, and empower students to create transformative social change. Guided by social work values of service, social justice, dignity, integrity, competence, and the importance of human relationships, SLC will help students discover opportunities to drive policy improvement on issues critical to our community.

It consists of Student Senators who are elected each year to represent the seven professional and graduate schools at monthly senate meetings. The USGA Senate meetings are centered around issues and events that involve all UMB schools and their respective students.
