Annual Report 2010 - 2011
Faculty Awards
Message from the Dean Dear Alumni and Friends, I am delighted to present the 2010-2011 Silver School of Social Work Annual Report to you. The report is a snapshot of School accomplishments over the past year and outlines the School’s development and transformation. It has been a bittersweet year with the loss of three long-time faculty members (Eda Goldstein, Gladys González-Ramos, and Jeffrey Seinfeld), and the expansion of the senior faculty with several preeminent scholars. Funded research has dramatically expanded, with $10.6 million of new awards to the School in the past year. Deeply engaged in their work, faculty are recognized as world leaders in social Dean Lynn Videka
work practice and scholarship. Enrollment remains robust, and we are working hard to dramatically increase the scholarship funds available to students and to find the needed foundation and philanthropic funding to support innovation and the future of the Silver School. Most exciting of all, our faculty is in the final stages of creating the vision and goals for the next five years in the Silver School of Social Work Strategic Plan. Focused around five strategic goals that reflect the priorities of the faculty and New York University, the plan positions the School for excellence in the dynamic and challenging world of social work practice, education, and research. The goals include: 1. Expand research infrastructure and productivity, positioning the School to be a leading producer of knowledge for the social work profession. 2. Continue our commitment to innovative and excellent social work BS and MSW professional education, and in the PhD program, educate the professorial leaders for the profession’s next generation. 3. Deepen and enrich the School’s commitment and dedication to and immersion in issues of diversity and social justice, in the curriculum and in all aspects of School life. 4. Expand the School’s engagement with the local community and the world community to be “In and of the City and In and of the World.” I invite you to comment on our plan at www.nyu.edu/socialwork/ strategicplan2011.
Sincerely,
Lynn Videka Dean and Professor

Among the positions graduates have secured are as adjunct lecturers at the Silver School and as a clinician in the Mobile Crisis Team at Staten Island’s Richmond University Medical Center. • Students published in a range of journals, including the British Journal of Social Work; Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions; Social Work Education: The International Journal; and Journal of Aging, Humanities, and the Arts. • Secured significantly increased student funding starting in fall 2011. All new students will receive Graduate Assistantships for at least two years. • Has a new PhD program director as of September 2011. Associate Professor James Martin completed his five-year term as PhD program director at the end of 2010-11. Professor Vincent Guilamo-Ramos will now serve as PhD program director.
Lifelong Learning and Professional Development The Division of Lifelong Learning and Professional Development continues to offer a wide range of courses and events for professional social workers. Among its initiatives this year, the Division: • Offered eight post-master’s certificate programs, enrolling 144 students. • Hosted several lectures, seminars, and conferences throughout the year with a total of 902 attendees. Conferences covered topics, including attachment theory perspective on trauma, loss, and resilience; mental health recovery; evolution of the palliative and end-of-life care field; and psychopharmacology and complimentary treatments. • Launched the new post-master’s program Spirituality and Social Work in fall 2010. Disability and Social Work, co-sponsored by FEGS: Health and Human Services, will begin in spring 2011. • Professor Deborah Padgett and Associate Professor Michelle Munson offered the First Annual Qualitative Methods Summer Workshop on July 28 and 29 at the Silver School. Twenty-five doctoral students and junior faculty attended from institutions across the United States and Canada, including the University of Michigan; University of California, Los Angeles; McGill University; and Washington University in St. Louis. The workshop provided instruction in writing qualitative methods proposals for funding. The School continues to build connections—across disciplines and across continents. Padgett was appointed director of the Global Health concentration of the NYU Master of Public Health program for 2011-12. She is internationally known for her expertise in qualitative methods as well as her federally funded research on services for homeless persons with serious mental illness. Over the course of the last year, NYU identified Shanghai as its second portal campus, to be opened in fall 2013. NYU Shanghai, in partnership with East China Normal University, will be a major initiative that will anchor the Silver School’s international agenda. The growth of China’s social work profession—expected to increase tenfold by 2020—underscores the significance of NYU Shanghai with the School. In June 2011, the School co-sponsored a conference on international social work and social policy in Shanghai. Seven faculty members attended and participated in panel discussions. Two students also attended, with one presenting during one of the sessions.

Associate Professor Michelle Munson’s research focuses on mental health services, interventions, and supportive relationships for vulnerable populations of youth and young adults. Assistant Professor Darcey Merritt studies the public child welfare system, addressing issues ranging from child abuse and neglect to domestic violence. All three began at the School in fall 2010. Faculty starting in 2011 are Professor Liliana Goldín, who focuses on global poverty, and Professor Wen-Jui Han, who studies poverty and immigration policy and their effects on child development. Professor Mary McKay is an internationally acclaimed expert

research infrastructure at the School.
Two centers provide a focus for the School’s research agenda. The McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research was established in 2009 with the transformative gift of Connie and Marty Silver. The School has appointed McKay as the McSilver Institute’s inaugural director. During 2010-11, Visiting Professor and Executive-in-Residence Phil Coltoff and Dean Lynn Videka served as Institute co-directors. The School is pleased to announce the creation of the Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health with GuilamoRamos and Jaccard as co-directors. CLAFH investigates the role of the Latino family in shaping the development and well-being of Latino adolescents. Based in New York City with an office in the Dominican Republic, the Center’s research addresses key issues that affect Latino families and the needs of New York’s diverse Latino community in national and global contexts.

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.
50th Anniversary: Celebrating Excellence, Embracing the Future 2010 marked the 50th Anniversary of the NYU Silver School of Social Work. In honor of this milestone, the School held a year-long series of events starting in early 2010. Last fall brought the Dean’s Lecture Series and the Faculty Lecture Series; Alumni Day with the Dean’s Luncheon and second annual Alumni Awards; a reception in support of the Lucretia J. Phillips Fellowship; and the capstone event—the 50th Anniversary Benefit Celebration on November 10. The evening started with a panel discussion on social identity with NYU President John Sexton; Henry Louis Gates Jr., host of the PBS series “Faces of America;” and Carol Gilligan, author of In a Different Voice. Dean Lynn Videka moderated the conversation, which touched on issues of identity formation in American society, including race, gender, and religion. Afterwards, over 250 dinner guests attended a dinner celebrating the School’s history and honoring Eleanore Z. Korman, former administrator, faculty member, and acting dean; longtime School fundraiser Judy Tobias Davis; and friend Martin Silver. Harry Smith, former co-anchor of the CBS Early Show, served as the dinner emcee. The evening raised $400,000 for the School’s 50th Anniversary NYU President John Sexton, Dean Lynn Videka, Carol Gilligan, and Henry Louis Gates Jr. at the 50th Anniversary Benefit Celebration.
