The group arranges social gatherings to assist in the sharing of experiences, and around volunteer efforts. A newsletter is distributed periodically, most recently being distributed through e-mail.
Students attend workshops, conferences and intercultural events as a group throughout the year.
The board also serves as an advisory board to the faculty of the Social Work Program. The Social Work Student Organization often plans a trip to a reservation to learn more about the culture of the Lakota. Here a traditional dance is being observed. Students get reacquainted each fall with a picnic and honor graduating seniors with a picnic each spring.
