Join us for our annual conference!
The Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education in Social Work (GADE) is pleased to invite you to the 2024 GADE Annual Conference for social work doctoral program directors hosted by the Arizona State University School of Social Work on April 10-12, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona.
This year’s conference theme is Sustainability in Social Work Doctoral Education. Our aim is to provide opportunities for critical conversations about sustainability in social work doctoral education, including interrogating how our current models are functioning, exploring new models given trends in higher education and the broader society, and questioning how to best prepare social work doctoral students for a sustainable future. This annual conference is an opportunity for doctoral program directors networking, resource-sharing, problem-solving, and professional development.
The price of conference registration includes all meals and conference-related activities. Conference attendance is limited to social work doctoral program directors/chairs, including assistant program directors/chairs, of GADE institutional members who are current in their membership dues. Programs may opt to send a delegate on behalf of their program if the director/chair is unable to attend. If a program is having a leadership transition, both the incoming and outgoing director/chair may attend. Additionally, GADE Board of Directors and GADE Advisory Board Members are eligible to attend and they may invite representatives from partner organizations to attend. All attendees are required to pay registration fees.
Thank you to our leading sponsors!
