Subject: Encourage Your Students to Enter Aging You Tube Contest

 

The Association for Gerontology Education in Social Work (AGE-SW) and
the John A. Hartford Foundation are sponsoring a special student
YouTube(tm) contest, This Is Social Work & Aging to celebrate the 10th
Anniversary of Hartford's Geriatric Social Work Initiative. 

 

This is the first YouTube(tm) contest open exclusively to social work
students. The grand prize winner receives a $1,000 prize and paid travel
expenses to the 2008 Gerontological Society of America (GSA)
<http://www.geron.org/>  conference.

 

To enter, students must create a 2 minute or less video responding to
the prompt: "This is social work & aging..." This phrase must be
incorporated in some way into the video. CSWE encourages faculty to
think creatively about how to get students involved. Use it as an extra
credit assignment! Share it with your program's student groups! Or, make
it a class project!

 

Participants must be a social work student(s) enrolled in a BSW, MSW, or
doctorate level program during the 2007-2008 and/or 2008-2009 school
year. All eligible students and 2008 grads are encouraged to apply.
