Campus Chapters
The CBSW started with an emphasis on providing support to Black social work students by connecting them to professionals who care deeply about empowering students and cultivating community with the Black social work community.
There are currently 2 authorized campus chapters of the CBSW at The University of Tennessee and The University of Memphis. However, students from any campus across the country can join and participate in events. Currently, our student membership has students from Tennessee State University, Jackson State University, Lipscomb University, Union University and Austin Peay State University.
