A Letter from the Dean Dear alumni and friends: Happy spring! I am pleased to say that after a long, cold winter signs of spring are making an appearance at Washington Square Park. The 2014-15 academic year has been extremely productive as we officially launched several new programs at the Silver School, including the MSW program at Shanghai and New York, DSW program, and dual-degree MSW/MA program in health advocacy. You will read more about these in this issue of the Newsletter. I recently returned from a momentous trip to Shanghai, where we held an open house for candidates for our MSW program at Shanghai and New York and signed a memo of understanding for a dual PhD program with East China Normal University. This trip was the culmination of four years of work and support of many members of our community. I am proud that we are building a strong presence for NYU Silver in Shanghai, and look forward to the next steps as students arrive at NYU Shanghai’s campus this fall to start the MSW program. In addition to opportunities in Shanghai, we have two new programs that will welcome their first cohorts of students in the fall: the DSW program and the dual-degree MSW/MA program in health advocacy. Our continuing education offerings have grown and diversified to meet the demand for CEU requirements for social workers in New York State. Faculty continue to hold leadership roles that shape social services. Students have received numerous awards and recognitions. It has been a busy time at the School, and I am grateful for all the work of our faculty and staff. This issue of the Newsletter comes with a new look. With this new design, we aim to give the publication more of a magazine look—including extra space for photos—to better showcase what’s happening at NYU Silver. We are continuing to examine ways to improve the content and bring more articles that are of interest to you. For example, we are now featuring more alumni profiles and will have expanded content available online. We welcome your feedback, which can be sent to silver.communications@nyu.edu. Finally, thank you to all our generous donors who supported us in 2013-14. You can find a list of names in our annual honor roll. Your scholarship gifts made a world of difference to many students, and your programmatic gifts make it possible for our faculty and school to achieve and contribute so much.

Expanding

Social Work Education and Research in China Over the last year, the NYU Silver School of Social Work has made significant progress in research and program development in Shanghai. As the Chinese government grows the country’s social work profession, NYU Silver is creating a research base on poverty and inequality, deepening its partnership with Chinese health and social service organizations, and establishing programs to educate the next generation of social workers.

MSW Program Last fall NYU Silver announced a new MSW program option that allows students fluent in both Mandarin and English to study for a year in Shanghai and a year in New York. The School will welcome its first cohort of students in fall 2015. “Students will have the opportunity to experience an innovative global MSW education and be trained in culturally appropriate practices,” said Professor Wen-Jui Han, co-director of the MSW program at Shanghai and New York. “With training in both China and the United States, students will have a first-hand experience in both countries.” Course work will be modeled after NYU Silver’s highly ranked two-year MSW program in New York and will be taught entirely in English. During the program’s first year, offered in Shanghai, students will take courses in English at the NYU Shanghai campus while doing field instruction in Mandarin in Shanghai social service agencies and health settings. The second year will take place at NYU’s Washington Square campus in New York City, where all instruction and field learning will be in English. “Graduates from this program will be fully equipped to work with populations in China or diverse populations around the world, including in New York’s own Chinatown,” said Associate Professor Tazuko Shibusawa, director of the MSW program and co-director of the MSW program at Shanghai and New York.

Social Work | Spring 2015

New Doctor of Social Work Degree … NYU Silver proudly announces a new doctoral program in clinical social work (DSW) for professional social workers. The DSW is a practice-oriented doctoral degree, and the DSW program in clinical social work will prepare licensed social workers for leadership roles in academic and agency settings. The first cohort of students will start in the fall. The program builds on NYU Silver’s recognized excellence and long reputation in clinical social work training and will offer state-of-the-art coursework on theory, evidence-based practices, research, and policy, as well as intensive writing workshops. The three-year, executive-style program allows students to continue working full-time. Students will be able to focus their internships in either teaching or clinical supervision. In lieu of a dissertation, students will write two publishable papers and present work at a professional conference. Carol Tosone, associate professor and recipient of the NYU Distinguished Teaching Award, will serve as program director. She is editor-in-chief of the Clinical Social Work Journal, a distinguished scholar in the National Academy of Practice in Social Work, and recipient of the Postgraduate Center Memorial Award in recognition of clinical excellence.

Dual PhD Program NYU Silver is also developing a dual PhD program to address one of China’s deepest workforce needs: social work researchers and educators. The program with the School of Social Development at East China Normal University (ECNU) will provide students an opportunity to have doctoral experiences in two countries. Students will spend half of the time in New York City taking required foundation courses. Students will spend the other half at ECNU in Shanghai for their disciplinary specialization coursework. Each student will have a faculty mentor from NYU and ECNU, and the NYU-ECNU Institute for Social Development at NYU Shanghai will provide a strong research infrastructure for research mentoring. The first cohort of students is expected to start fall 2016. “This program reflects opportunities for Chinese and American students to be trained binationally and biculturally in a way to address social welfare needs of people in China and the US,” said Professor Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, director of NYU Silver’s PhD program. “This is a great way to expand NYU Silver’s global linkages and connect more with the Chinese population in the United States.”

Research: Well-Being of Chinese Children The Institute for Social Development released its inaugural research project this past fall, a descriptive understanding of children’s well-being in contemporary China. The study examined the two major contexts—family and school—that shape children’s well-being. Data were collected on 2,200 first-grade children in seven school districts in Shanghai through surveying school administrators, teachers, and parents. These participants will be surveyed in future years as part of a longitudinal study. Researchers found that most of the first graders were happy and healthy. Parents reported having solid marriages, high academic expectations, and a middle-class income averaging $29,000. Exceptions, however, included: •

Boys in general, and children from low-income or rural hukou status families, tended to perform less well in school than children of urban residents and have lower socio-emotional well-being.

•

70 percent of children had normal weight; but 30 percent were considered overweight or obese, a rate similar to the US based on the most recent report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Children were more likely to be overweight in families with higher income, unlike in the United States. These children tend to attend large elementary schools—averaging 1,000 students—and have well-educated

teachers with a high degree of career satisfaction. While schools are seen as having adequate classroom space, libraries, computer rooms, and music rooms, other facilities such as gymnasiums, auditoriums, and multi-purpose rooms were viewed as lacking. “Given the increasing income disparity China faces, our findings can help us understand the factors that nurture or impede a child’s healthy development and hold implications for the future of China’s society,” said Han, also co-director of the Institute.

NYU Silver Westchester Campus Celebrates 20 Years cursed with a zillion choices about how to practice, and we will likely not master them all,” she said. The unifying theme among these myriad modalities, she stated, is “the curative factor of the relationship itself.” Aiello talked about the shift from classical, Freudian-based training to a psychodynamic, “relatedness”-based approach. She also spoke of the ubiquity of trauma in today’s therapeutic world, recommending psychiatrist From left to right: Theresa Aiello, Bill Reulbach, Courtney O’Mealley, Susan Gerbino, Robin Miller, Karen Wright, and Lynn Videka

alumni spotlight:

Building a Network One Person at a Time Mary Pender Greene, MSW ’74 “If you were to ask me if I have a mentor, I really don’t have just one. I have many,” said Mary Pender Greene. “Throughout my career lots of people have helped me.” Pender Greene’s accomplished career includes roles as a nonprofit executive, career and executive coach, and a psychotherapist. At the NYU Silver School of Social Work, she serves on the Advisory Committee of the School’s McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research. She calls her business network a “virtual personal board of directors.” Each person provides insight in his or her area of expertise—such as social media, marketing, salary negotiation, or issues of difference. Pender Greene compiled her life lessons about networking, mentoring, and career development in a book recently published by Oxford University Press. Creative Mentorship and Career Building Strategies: How to Build Your Virtual Board of Directors brings the most advanced mentoring methods out of the Fortune 500 boardroom to readers, giving them access to the groundbreaking and innovative techniques utilized by powerful and influential professionals. “The idea is that you can’t become your best self by yourself,” she explained. “The book is about the do’s and don’ts of networking and the idea of recognizing that successful people never become successful by themselves.” In practical terms, Pender Greene provides the rules of engagement. The first: Never ask anyone to be on your virtual board or be your mentor. She has found that people often do not want to commit to a required number of hours, but are happy to sporadically help you over the course of a year. Another rule: Be responsive to referrals and/or requests by people in your network and the networks of others. She likened this system of mentorship to a food co-op. There is no fee up front to participate in the network, but you need to offer something to the

collective—a phone conversation, a coffee meeting, connections to other people—to benefit from the group. Pender Greene argues that the days of traditional mentorship provided by an employer are by and large over. Today’s financially strapped environment plus people changing jobs multiple times over their careers has created the need for creative mentorship. “Usually you think of someone being the passive recipient of mentorship,” said Pender Greene. “Creative mentorship is about becoming an active participant, and you are pursuing mentors—lots of them.” She calls the book a portable mentorship kit, which will include an app to use for organizing contact information, writing notes, and giving each person a virtual board position. The book is a natural evolution for Pender Greene, who worked at the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services for many years. She held several executive and management positions there and was in charge of the organization’s staff development and the placement of hundreds of social work students. She knew most of the staff and students personally—often providing career guidance. Many have stayed connected even after they left the agency. In addition, Pender Greene provides career and executive coaching services as part of her private psychotherapy practice. “It doesn’t end. You always need mentoring,” said Pender Greene, who noted that someone on her personal board encouraged her to write this book and introduced her to his agent. “And as time goes on, you are helpful to the mentees and they are helpful to you.”

NYU Silver Honors Its

Outstanding Alumni On Saturday, November 8, the NYU Silver School of Social Work presented its annual Alumni Awards, honoring six alumni for their contributions to the field of social work and the School. Attendees, who included representatives from every decade of the School’s existence, mingled over a delicious meal for an exuberant celebration of the individual and collective accomplishments of NYU Silver alumni. Part of NYU Alumni Day 2014, the Silver Alumni awards—Distinguished Alumni Award, Outstanding Recent Alumni Award, and Making a Difference Award—were distributed at a luncheon at the NYU Global Center for Academic and Spiritual Life, hosted by Silver School Dean Lynn Videka. Gary Parker, deputy director of the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, served as emcee for the event. Karen Wright, director of development, presented Anne DeLaney, MSW ’88, with the Making a Difference Award for her longstanding commitment to nonprofit work in the United States and abroad. “I am honored, humbled, and grateful,” said DeLaney. A licensed clinical social worker with a two-decades long grief-counseling practice, DeLaney is the co-founder of OneGift, the nation’s first wish fulfillment program for adults with cancer. Since 1988, OneGift has granted over 3,500 wishes to cancer patients and their families. “I always wanted to make a difference,” she shared. “People always said, ‘Oh, you’re so idealistic.’ But at NYU, people finally believed me.” Dina Rosenfeld, clinical associate professor, presented Amanda Raposo, BS ’11, with the Outstanding Recent Alumni Award for her philanthropic and entrepreneurial contributions to New York City mothers and children. Raposo is the founder of Powerhouse NYC, a nonprofit organization that helps mothers in need achieve economic empowerment. The organization—which Raposo established as an NYU undergraduate student—is sustained by Project Playdate. Project Playdate, where Raposo serves as executive director, is the fundraising arm of Powerhouse NYC and offers drop-off playdates and pajama parties for children.

Chris Gates, BS ’09, received the Outstanding Recent Alumni Award for his educational work in Tanzania. As a freshman at NYU, Gates started his own non-profit, the Janada L. Batchelor Foundation for Children (JBFC), through which he founded a school in Tanzania in 2010. Today, JBFC’s Joseph & Mary School is ranked in the top 100 schools in the country and educates nearly 300 primary and secondary students. JBFC also maintains a home for abused and abandoned girls. Ashli Sims, who works alongside Gates as director of development for JBFC presented him with the award. Heath Bloch, assistant executive director for the Shield Institute, presented Irene Chung, PhD ’00, with the Distinguished Alumni Award for her extensive research and work on suicide among Asian American populations. “My utmost desire in social work is to give back to the community,” she shared. Chung, who emigrated from Hong Kong to the United States, spoke candidly about her personal struggle to prove herself as a woman of color whose native language is not English, especially in a field dominated by Eurocentric psychodynamic concepts. She folds her experiences into her clinical work, using a cross-cultural practice perspective in her work with the Asian American community. Chung is a prolific writer whose most recent publication is the 2013 book Contemporary Clinical Practice with Asian Immigrants: A Relational Framework with Culturally Responsive Approaches, co-authored with NYU Silver Associate Professor Tazuko Shibusawa. She has served as president of the New York Coalition for Asian American Mental Health for the past five years. Robert Schachter, executive director of the NYC Chapter of NASW, presented Carmen Collado, MSW ’92, with the Distinguished Alumni Award for her tremendous work as a policymaker, program designer, and advocate for the social work profession. In November, Collado joined ICL as chief network and relationship officer. She is responsible for ensuring that relationships between the organization and government officials, clients, collaborators, and donors remain strong and transparent. Collado came to ICL from the Jewish Board of Family Children’s Services (JBFCS), where she had been chief government and community relations officer since 2002. A member of the New York State Board for Social Work, she serves as a social work representative, advising the Board of Regents and State Department of Education on matters of professional regulation. Collado reminisced proudly on her formative training at NYU: “I am grateful for, and cherish, my clinical education. I am proud to be part of a school whose legacy is preparing social workers to repair the world.” The event concluded with the presentation of the Distinguished Alumni Award to Constance McCatherin Silver, BS ’78, MSW ’79, who has tirelessly lent her support—and name—to the School. She received a PhD from the Union Institute and University in 1983, and is a teacher, therapist, artist, and philanthropist. Silver has been a member of the NYU Board of Trustees since 2003, and serves on the Academic Affairs, University Life, and Global Affairs Committees. Reflecting on the growth of the School, Silver smiled, “This is, no doubt, the little engine that could.” Videka praised Silver for her storied and varied endeavors, which include a thriving artistic practice as a sculptor of bright, vibrant pieces. Silver is also responsible for the creation of the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, which Videka heralded: “McSilver is pioneering social work as a scientific enterprise while maintaining a commitment to scholarship and expanding student diversity.”

A Teacher at Heart Mara Gottlieb, MSW ’97, PhD ’14 Mara Gottlieb’s decision to pursue a career in social work and diversity was inspired by her hometown. A self-professed “New York City kid,” Gottlieb grew up in the urban epicenter of cultural heterogeneity. She felt pulled to social work, with its focus on diversity and social justice, from a young age. Gottlieb received her undergraduate degree from Brown University, where she accepted her first social work position as the student head of the Women’s Center. Her supervisor—hoping to address what she perceived as a lack of diversity among students using the center’s services—sent Gottlieb to a three-day

She will continue her research on healthcare torture, including an anthology of ABA survivors titled “At the Expense of Joy” and an anthology of the last voices of autism titled “Not Dark Yet.” Gretchen Peterson, MSW ’97, was named the founding program director at Gilda’s Club Twin Cities. Under her direction, this affiliate of the nation-wide Cancer Support Community opened its doors in January 2014, offering social and emotional support to anyone touched by cancer within the 11-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. Gretchen is pursuing her EdD in leadership at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. Jerry Rhine, MSW ’04, has written the book Healing Cancer, Heart Disease, and More. It features psychoneroimmunology using over 50 transformative images to change emotions and chemicals in neurotransmitters and to empower the immune system. This results in the potential reversal of advanced cancer and heart disease, as occurred with Jerry. Andy Yen, MSW ’14, works at Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco, Adult Psychiatric Clinic as an assistant psychiatric social worker. Please send class notes to silver.alumniaffairs@nyu.edu.
