Student (Non-CE) Sessions

Closed: CE submissions closed on Monday, December 1, 2025. We received over 180 submissions — thank you

We invite student-led (BSW, DSW, MSW, PhD) and student-targeted sessions led by professionals (non-CE) for presentations, panels, and creative sessions that highlight professional development, student advocacy, leadership, innovation, collaboration, and growth in social work practice. Priority will be given to student-led submissions.

This is a great opportunity to share experiences, research, projects, or perspectives connected to one or more conference tracks:

Conference Tracks
  1. Policy & Practice for Systemic Equity: Aligning social work practice with statewide advocacy to dismantle inequities through policy reform, legislative change, and regional collaboration.
  2. Amplifying Community Voice & Collective Power: Elevating lived experiences and grassroots leadership to drive racial equity, solidarity, and participatory approaches to justice.
  3. Solidarity in Action: Cross-Sector Partnerships showcasing partnerships across systems—legal, education, health, and community organizations—that address structural barriers and build collective impact.
  4. Innovating Social Work for a Just Future: Forward-looking approaches — including technology, research, healing-centered practices, and climate justice — that reimagine the profession’s role in creating equitable systems.


These sessions are designed to build community, spark dialogue, and inspire future leaders in the field. Presenters selected will be able to register for the conference at a discounted rate. Please note that travel costs are not covered.

*All presenters must attend in person.

Keynote

TBD. Keynote speaker and topic will be announced soon. Check back for updates.
