Hello Thameians,

My name is Siddhartha Guvaju, and I am the President of the Social Work Club (SWC) for the 2024-2025 school year. I had always been interested in contributing to meaningful social work initiatives, and I was given the chance this year. Not only have I become more involved, but I have also become more familiar with the students and their diverse perspectives. I want to contribute my honest efforts and value to the SWC, as all my priorities, concerns, and best interests are geared toward the club's mission. Having joined the SWC at the very beginning of 2019, I have gained much professional and personal growth from each and every member, and I thank my colleagues for making the club an enjoyable and positive place to be.

Now, what exactly is the Social Work Club? The SWC serves as a platform for students passionate about social work, providing opportunities to connect, learn, and grow. It fosters a supportive environment for social work students to build their professional identity as future social workers. SWC welcomes and encourages students from all academic backgrounds to actively engage in raising awareness about various social issues and contributing to meaningful change.

I look forward to seeing the plans the Social Work Club has for the upcoming school year. We are all aware that it will be a bit different than what we are used to at Thames due to the current circumstances, but rest assured that the SWC members are hard at work to make this year a success.
