Encourage Students to Submit for the Anita Rosen Poster Awards

Submissions for the 3rd Annual Anita Rosen Gerontology Awards for Outstanding Student Poster are now being accepted from BSW, MSW, and Doctoral social work students as part of the CSWE Annual Program Meeting (APM) Call for Submissions. Three $1000 awards are available (one for each degree level) to students submitting intergenerational or aging-specific poster abstracts.

Students, please review the guidelines on the Anita Rosen Awards page of the Gero-Ed Center Web site. We encourage you to seek guidance from faculty who are familiar with your work as you prepare your proposal, especially if this is your first time submitting to a national conference.

Faculty, please encourage your students who have conducted aging-related research to submit to APM and guide them as they prepare their proposals and posters, especially if this is their first national academic conference. Visit the Anita Rosen Awards page of the Gero-Ed Center Web site to share a special student flyer and guidelines with your students.

Please visit the CSWE APM Web site to review the submission process summary and indicate in the online submission form that your poster proposal is for the Gero-Ed Track. The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 28, 2008.
