THE STUDENT CONFERENCE EXPERIENCE

At NASW-NJ, we strive to make our Annual Conference accessible and worthwhile for social work students. Participation in the NASW-NJ Annual Conference offers students a chance to network with social work professionals, experience professional environments, meet potential mentors and employers, and learn how the social work profession continually grows and evolves through practice, research, and education.

Students are able to attend the 2023 NASW-NJ Annual Conference for a nominal fee. Students who attend the conference will experience a hybrid conference model, where they will attend Keynote presentations and plenary sessions with social work professionals and special Student Summit sessions the rest of the conference.

The Student Summit aims to provide students in social work a meaningful learning and professional development opportunity that provides them dedicated space to network, learn and grow as students and also gain a glimpse into the professional world of social work
