The GADE Board of Directors Awards Committee are excited to announce that nominations are now open for the three 2022 GADE Awards that will be presented at the 2022 Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Annual Program Meeting (APM) in November. Award nominations are due by July 15, 2022.

The Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education (GADE) announced three new members to the Board of Directors at the Annual Business Meeting during the GADE Annual Conference. New members will each help support the nonprofit’s work to promote excellence in doctoral education in social work.

On behalf of the Group for the Advancement for Doctoral Education in Social Work (GADE), we invite nominations for three (3) open positions on the Board of Directors. All Board Members shall serve a 3-year term, and they may be re-elected for one consecutive term.

We are happy to report that under the GADE-supported Cross-institutional Student Collaboration Initiative "Students from Migrant Backgrounds in Doctoral Programs in Social Work: Increasing Access and Creating Conditions for Success" are hosting a public event open to doctoral social work students on April 25, 2022 at 12pm Eastern.

A primary focus of doctoral education, as stated in the mission statement of GADE, is to prepare the next generation of scholars, researchers, and educators who function as stewards of the discipline (GADE Strategic Plan, 2016). Join us for a GADE-sponsored event entitled "Mentorship For Anti-Racist and Inclusive Research" on Friday, April 15, 2022.

On behalf of the GADE Board of Directors, the University of Utah College of Social Work and the 2022 GADE conference hosts, Christina Gringeri (Chair) and Chi-Fang Wu (co-Chair), we write to inform you that the 2022 GADE Conference will be held virtually on May 23-25, 2022.

GADE celebrates March as Social Work Month -- a time to recognize the great profession and the incredible community of social work educators, students, scholars, educators, and practitioners.

On behalf of the GADE Board of Directors, we invite you to the GADE Virtual Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, at 7:00pm ET / 6:00pm CT.
