Message from the Dean Dear Alumni and Friends, I am pleased to provide you with this Silver School of Social Work 2009-10 Annual Report. This new report serves as a snapshot of the School in the past academic year, highlights major accomplishments in our programs and by our faculty and students, and includes information on the School’s funding. Our school is strong, in terms of enrollment, sponsored programs, and alumni donor participation. However, even with Dean Lynn Videka
contributions to the School’s scholarship programs, our student financial need is great. We have made much progress in the past year. Faculty have demonstrated their role as leading scholars in social work. Faculty and students have contributed to the quality of life at the School and New York City through field internships, volunteer service, and research. Additionally, the faculty and I are working to shape the future vision of the School through a strategic planning process, which will be ready to discuss in the next Annual Report. I welcome your feedback on this report. We intend to publish an Annual Report each year to keep alumni, donors, students, and faculty aware of the School’s progress.
Sincerely,
Dean Lynn Videka

Mission Statement The mission of The Silver School of Social Work at New York University is to educate professionals for social work practice with individuals, families, groups and communities and to provide leadership in the development of knowledge relevant to social work practice in a complex urban environment. The School seeks to fulfill its mission by building and transmitting knowledge that will help to alleviate human suffering, enhance the vitality and caring capacity of communities, and promote the ideals of a humane and just world. The School is committed to the core social work values of: belief in the dignity and worth of all individuals; the centrality and power of caring human relationships; a commitment to social and economic justice that includes freedom from all forms of oppression and access to social goods; and a dedication to practicing with integrity and the highest level of competence.
Celebrating excellence, embracing the future 2010 marks the 50th Anniversary of the NYU Silver School of Social Work. The School has been a pioneer in training over 13,000 social work practitioners and leaders in every field of practice, affecting lives around the world. From 1960s gang violence to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s to 9/11, NYU’s social workers have been at the center of response efforts that turn crises into social progress. The 50th Anniversary has provided the School an opportunity to look back at five decades of scholarship, research, and advocacy that reflect an enduring commitment to addressing the needs of the most vulnerable populations and advancing social and economic justice. As we look to the future, these critical aspects of the School’s mission continue to inform our academic programs and direct our engagement with the communities we serve. To mark this milestone, the School held a yearlong series of special events, including two lecture series and a reception in the Edward Hopper Studio, with Lynn Gumpert, director of the Grey Gallery. Students, alumni, faculty, and staff participated in the Silver Search, a mobile-based scavenger hunt around the NYU Campus and Greenwich Village in search of 10 social work landmarks. Additionally, his year’s May 12 convocation marked the graduation of the School’s 50th class.

Academic Programs During the 2009-10 academic year, the Silver School’s master’s program enrolled over 1,050 students—450 admitted in the fall—with a historically high number of fulltime students. The undergraduate program admitted 42 students in fall 2009 and the doctoral program admitted 9 students. The master’s and undergraduate programs both underwent a successful reaccreditation process by the Council on Social Work Education last spring. Initial feedback from the site visit in April was positive with official reaccreditation received in fall 2010.
Among the highlights from this year: Undergraduate Program: • Offered a minor in poverty studies in fall 2010, the second cross-school minor to be offered at the Silver School. • The number of non-social work majors taking

External Funding The School made major gains in sponsored programs. In September 2009, the awards for the year—including foundation and government funding, along with funds for training projects—totaled $352,000. By September 2010, that annual amount had jumped to over $1,889,000.

Fundraising efforts garnered nearly $750,000 for scholarship funds and general support from more than 800 alumni and friends. Fundraising focused on gifts for student scholarships in honor of the School’s 50th anniversary and included the School’s first communitywide appeal mailing. For the School’s non-endowed scholarship funds the following amounts were received or pledged in 2009-10: • Silver School of Social Work 50th Anniversary Scholarship Fund: $186,600 • Silver School of Social Work Annual Fund: $160,200 • Silver School of Social Work Annual Scholarship Fund: $7,800 For the School’s endowed scholarship funds the following amounts were received or pledged in 2009-10: • Phyllis and Marvin Barasch Fellowship Fund: $200,000 • German Society Scholarship: $2,500 • Laurie Greifer Kaufman Fellowship in School Social Work: $50,000 • Doris Kempner Fellowship: $4,000 • Anna King Memorial Fund: $1,000 • LCU Foundation: $40,000 • McCatherin-Silver Fellowship: $5,000 • Claudia Mann Oberweger Scholarship: $7,000 • Lucretia Phillips Fellowship: $2,200

In June a series of conferences was organized around Professor Jerome Wakefield’s work on depression and the conceptualization of mental illness from an international perspective. Each of the conference days explored specific topics of Wakefield’s work as debated by French, Canadian, and British philosophers; epidemiologists; psychologists; and sociologists. The McSilver Institute for Poverty and Policy Research took a major step forward this past academic year. The Institute was launched with a presentation by Geoffrey Canada, CEO of Harlem Children’s Zone, on NYU’s Alumni Day, October 3. The Institute hosted a city-wide conference on October 16 that featured Linda Gibbs, deputy mayor for human services, and a panel of community service experts. The conference brought togeth-
Research and Scholarship The Silver School of Social Work faculty continue to be leading scholars in social work. Over the past two decades social work has become an empirically based profession that aims to build knowledge about how to effectively service socially disadvantaged populations. The Silver School is building its research contributions to solving our society’s most pressing problems. The School made major gains in sponsored program activity. In September 2009, the School’s sponsored programs awards totaled $352,000. By September 1, 2010, that annual amount had jumped to just over $1,889,000. This included five federal grants—a new award for Professor Deborah Padgett’s work with homeless adults with serious mental illness and substance addiction and four grants for Professor Vincent Guilamo-Ramos.
er approximately 100 agency heads to explore the opportunities presented by the Institute. In January 2010, Dean Lynn Videka formed a multidisciplinary McSilver Planning Committee, charged to create a mission and vision statement and suggest initial goals for the Institute. The Committee completed its work in spring 2010, and the School will search for a director in 2010-11.
