The Anita Rosen Gerontology Awards for Outstanding Student Poster

Thanks to a generous donation from Dr. Anita Rosen, the Anita Rosen Gerontology Awards for Outstanding Student Poster were established to promote the advancement of the field of gerontological social work education among social work students. Awarded at the Gero-Ed Center/AGE-SW Annual Event at the CSWE Annual Program Meeting (APM), this honor is presented to the best intergenerational or aging-specific student poster from each academic level (BSW, MSW, and Doctoral).
