Current Sociology Students
Student Spotlight
Our sociology students are some of the most active on campus. Our student group The Sociological Society is active in the community collaborating with The Boys and Girls Club and CASA, raising money for cancer research, and volunteering throughout Statesboro and beyond. Our graduates have earned internships working in the White House and working for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and many have gone on to earn advanced degrees.

Sociological Society
The Sociological Society is the student club for sociology majors, minors, and any other Georgia Southern student interested in sociology. Everyone is welcome! We are a group of highly motivated students who split our time between philanthropy/volunteering on campus in the community and discussing the sociology around us by watching documentaries, talking about current events, and learning from each other’s experiences. Join us on Facebook!
Are you in an Intro to Sociology course right now and want to know more about sociology and meet some like minded students? Then this club is for you. Even if you’re not a sociology major/minor, you can still dig deeper into sociology and the social issues that are affecting the world and your community today.
