The Center for Social Work Research invites you to join your fellow social work students in presenting a 3-minute lightning-style talk about your involvement in research at the 2021 Social Work Student Research Symposium!

Lightning-style presentations follow a format that encourages short, engaging talks that focus on the key points of a research project and your involvement in it. Lightning-style presentations have been found to be highly effective in distilling and communicating key points. Your presentation should emphasize why the study was done, your active role in it, and implications for social work practice. Talks are three-minutes long. This challenges students to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries so they can be presented concisely to a non-specialist audience.

BSW, MSW, and PhDSocial Work students are invited to apply.

A $50 cash prize will be awarded to the best presentations at the BSW, MSW and PhD levels.

PARTICIPATING IS EASY:

You must apply to participate in the presentations via our Online Application Form. The application will ask you to provide a brief description of the overall research project, an explanation of your role, and a summary of your presentation.
