Thank you to those that joined us at the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Annual Program Meeting (APM) last week in Orlando, Florida! It was wonderful to reconnect with those of you in attendance. We recognize many of the GADE members were unable to attend in person. We are following up to provide the GADE Resources shared at CSWE-APM and to recognize the 2021 GADE Awardees that received their awards at the Doctoral Student Connection Breakfast with an awardee recognition video.

Thank you to those that joined us at the Society for Social Work & Research (SSWR) conference last week in Washington, DC or virtually! For those of you who attended the conference, we hope it offered an opportunity to network, learn, and reconnect.

Unfortunately, this year we had to make the difficult decision to cancel the GADE Reception due to the recent surge in COVID-19 infections. We are following up to recognize the 2022 GADE Awardees with an awardee recognition video that would have traditionally been honored during this reception.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are delighted to announce the winner of the 2022 Initiative for Cross-Institutional Student Collaboration.

We received several outstanding proposals. After a thorough review, the Board has selected a proposal entitled Students from Migrant Backgrounds in Doctoral Programs in Social Work: Increasing Access and Creating Conditions for Success as this year's winner. Congratulations to Tanzilya Oren, Agnes N. Nzomene Kahouo Foda, and Maryam Rafieifar!
