In response to IV-E student requests, the first Title IV-E Student Day was held in 1998. The event was designed as an educational conference as well as an opportunity to meet and network with other IV-E students and alumni throughout the state. Since its inception, Student Day has been a key event in the Title IV-E student school experience. The event is created by a team of first and second year
Title IV-E representatives from each school. This team meets as a group twice, during the fall and winter Title IV-E Project Coordinators meetings. At the first meeting, the team chooses a theme for the event, around which relevant event speakers and workshop topics are selected. The coordinator for the event is a Title IV-E student selected by the prior year’s team and paid as a GSR. To insure fairness, the location of the event rotates among the various regions of the state. Student Day
CalSWEC's statewide Title IV-E Student Day, an all-day conference held in the spring, is planned and coordinated by the Student Day Planning Team, composed of Title IV-E MSW student representatives from the 21 graduate schools of social work throughout California as well as students from the Title IV-E BASW schools. The conference features speakers, workshops, and networking opportunities for attendees. Student Day 2013
