nyu silver 2011-2012 annual report

AnnuAl RepoRt 2011-2012

1. Top Academic ProgramsOver the past three years, the NYU Silver School

of Social Work has built on its distinct reputa-

tion for outstanding clinical and professional

practice education, strengthening its scholar-

ship programs. The School has recommitted

itself to advancing social justice, increasing this

curriculum content. The School is expanding its

mentored research collaborations for BS, MSW,

and PhD students, and increasing global learning

opportunities. Since 2009, three endowed schol-

arships have been added for students.

The 2012 U.S. News & World Report

graduate school rankings offered confirmation of

NYU Silver’s development. The magazine ranked

NYU Silver 16th out of 207 master’s programs in

social work nationally, leaping forward from 22nd

in the previous national rankings in 2009.

2. Curriculum Excellence & InnovationSilver School students are able to choose from

several innovative program options throughout

their social work education. The undergradu-

ate program offers service-learning courses to

distinct populations, including middle school

students, Holocaust survivors, and refugee

youth. The MSW program expanded a rich

array of new electives in 2011-12 for popula-

tions greatly in need, such as military families.

Doctoral students now have a formal, required

research mentoring program where they are

matched with faculty who will guide them in

research training and career development. We

aim to prepare the future social work professo-

riate for the best universities.

As NYU Silver evolves and expands, its

roots in clinical practice are developing some of

the world’s most cutting-edge and creative clini-

cal practice programs. One example is the launch

of an 18-month fellowship in social work pallia-

tive and end-of-life care leadership, funded by

The Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation,

Inc. and the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation.

3. Expansion of Global Learning OpportunitiesIn and of the city, in and of the world. As NYU

has evolved into a global network university, the

Silver School has broadened its study abroad op-

portunities. In 2011-12, global learning programs

were held in Costa Rica, France, and Ghana, with

two new options in Israel and the Philippines.

In Israel students explored trauma through the

lifecycle as part of an international conference

co-hosted by NYU Silver and Hebrew University

in Jerusalem. Students travelled to Del Carmen,

Philippines, for one month in the summer to

conduct a needs assessment with government

officials, community members, and local stu-

dents to determine how to create and better use

local resources in an effort to lower poverty and

unemployment rates.

Three new programs of study have

already been announced for 2012-13: Argentina,

Italy, and Washington, DC.

4. A Foundation for Education & Research in ChinaIn April, NYU Silver hosted a two-day confer-

ence with the East China Normal University

(ECNU) School of Social Development—a major

step in the development of the NYU-ECNU So-

cial Work and Social Policy Research Institute.

As the Chinese government has embarked on

an initiative to increase the number of social

workers from 200,000 to 2 million by 2020,

NYU will play a role in the development of the

country’s social work profession.

The Institute will serve as a nexus for

comparative research on pressing social prob-

lems and collaborative educational programs

between the two universities. The Institute will

also provide on-the-job training to social workers

and will host regular seminars, workshops, and

conferences. The Institute expects to begin its

work in the 2012-13 academic year.

5. Creating Knowledge for the Future of Social WorkAs the Silver School evolves into a research-in-

tensive school, its external funding has increased.

Beginning in 2012, total external funding for

research, evaluation, and training projects will

exceed $17.7 million, up from nearly $12.5 million

at the start of 2011-12.

Faculty members have been extremely

productive in their publications. Last year fac-

ulty had nine books published or in press; they

had over 130 articles published in journals. In

the June 2012 issue of the Clinical Social Work

Journal, which commemorated the School’s 50th

anniversary, 18 Silver School faculty members

authored or co-authored a total of 18 articles.

The issue was guest edited by Dean Lynn Videka

and posthumously by Eda Goldstein, a long-time

Silver School professor.

The School’s research centers, including

the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and

Research and the Center for Latino Adolescent

and Family Health, are developing projects

around children, families, and poverty. This

spring the School began forging a deeper rela-

tionship with NYU’s Center on Violence and Re-

covery (CVR), founded by Professor Linda Mills.

CVR works to advance knowledge of the causes

and consequences of violence and trauma, and

develop solutions that foster healing among

individuals, families, and communities.

6. A Rededication to Social Justice & DiversityThe Silver School ensures that its commitment

to social justice and diversity is one of its core

values. In 2012 a Diversity and Social Justice

Committee—comprised of faculty, staff, and

students—was created. Several faculty hold

national and international leadership roles that

pertain to social justice and diversity. Associate

Professor Tazuko Shibusawa is a board mem-

ber for the Japanese American Social Services.

Professor Vincent Guilamo-Ramos serves as chair

of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and

Unplanned Pregnancy’s Latino Initiative Advisory

Group, and gave a standing-room only talk as

part of a panel on “Race and Ethnicity in Research

and Practice: What Difference Have We Made?”

at the 2012 Society for Social Work and Research

meeting in Washington, DC. Faculty members’

work on diversity has also been recognized,

including Professor Jeane Anastas, who has been

named recipient of the 2012 Feminist Scholarship

Award from the Council on Social Work Educa-

tion. Associate Professor Alma Carten received

the 2012 Dorothy Height Award from the Silver

School’s Students of Color Collective (SOCC).

Student leadership has been an impor-

tant part of this rededication. Active student

groups include the Racial Diversity Coalition,

Pride in Practice, and SOCC. Four students were

recognized with NYU Silver Student Awards for

their work with minority populations, along with

the Chinese Student Support Group.

7. Seven New Faculty Members Join NYU SilverThe School’s seven new faculty members are

helping deepen the School’s strong research

portfolio. These faculty have exceptional re-

search and scholarship backgrounds in areas

such as quantitative and qualitative research

methods, positive youth development, and re-

duction of youth risk behavior.

The School appointed the following four

tenured faculty: Professors Liliana Goldín; Wen-

Jui Han; James Jaccard; and McSilver Professor

of Poverty Studies Mary McKay, who is also the

director of the McSilver Institute for Poverty

Policy and Research. Other faculty appoint-

ments included: Evelyn Nieves, clinical assistant

professor of social work and the coordinator of

the Rockland Country Branch Campus; Geetha

Gopalan, faculty fellow at the McSilver Institute;

and Catherine Vu, assistant professor/McSilver

faculty fellow, who was awarded a postdoctoral

fellowship for 2011-13 in conjunction with the

NYU Postdoctoral and Transition Program for

Academic Diversity Fellowship.

8. Commitment to Lifelong Learning

The Silver School sponsored two conferences

this year—reaching nearly 400 participants—that

focused on cutting-edge knowledge in clinical

social work practice and seven post-master’s

certificate programs enrolling 134 students.

A two-day conference titled Substance Use:

Responding to Changes in Policy, Research, and

Services presented the most current information

regarding substance use prevention, treatment

and recovery policy, research, and services within

the context of health care reform. The second

conference, Transforming Love Relationships: The

Practice of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy,

featured Dr. Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me

Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love.

Post-master’s certificates subjects included clini-

cal approaches to the addictions, palliative and

end-of-life care, spirituality and social work, and

executive leadership in the not-for-profit sector.

9. Engagement with the CommunitySilver School students and faculty provide service

to the community in many ways. In 2011-12, the

Office of Field Learning and Community Partner-

ships placed a total of 1,139 master’s and under-

graduate students in agencies throughout the

New York metropolitan area. Students provided

669,000 hours of service to the greater New York

community. Youth Take Charge—a social venture

founded by NYU Silver undergraduates Lauren

Kalogridis, BS ’13; Cordelia Brady, BS ’13; and

Danielle Eagan, BS ’14, to educate high school

students about human trafficking—was selected

as the 2011-12 NYU Reynolds Changemaker

Challenge’s Best Overall Venture, and received

funding support for the project.

Faculty hold leadership roles at the

School, University, and larger social work commu-

nity. Professor Jeane Anastas (above) continues

her three-year term as president of the National

Association of Social Workers. Associate Profes-

sor Carol Tosone is the editor-in-chief of the Clini-

cal Social Work Journal and Professor Shulamith

Lala Straussner is the founding editor of the

Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions.

Dean Lynn Videka is an editorial board member

for Social Work Education and serves on the

board of the New York Council of Nonprofits. Fac-

ulty members Phil Coltoff and Trudy Festinger

both serve on the Advisory Board for the New

York City Administration for Children’s Services.

10. Looking Forward & New DirectionsIn 2010, NYU Silver began a major strategic plan-

ning initiative. The faculty and administration

assessed the School’s strengths and weaknesses,

evaluated its environments—from the University

to the social work profession, from New York

to the world—and identified opportunities and

threats. The plan was open for public comment

from School stakeholders during the summer

and fall of 2011. After many debates, revisions,

and faculty votes, the plan was finalized in 2012

and is being unveiled to the community. The

document is divided into four areas—research

and scholarship, educational innovation, diver-

sity, and local and global community engage-

ment—and will guide the School for the next

five years. The plan, titled Looking Forward: New

Directions for the Silver School of Social Work,

positions the School for excellence in the vital

and challenging world of social work practice,

education, and research. The plan can be found

at www.nyu.edu/socialwork/strategicplan.

Baccalaureate ProgramApproximately 140 total students enrolled in the Silver School’s under-

graduate program. As in past years, the program attracted students from

across the University, with 201 non-social work undergraduates signed up

for social work courses. The program offered students two international

options over the winter inter-session: a mini-course in the Dominican

Republic on LGBTQ Movements and Advocacy and a service-learning

course in Ghana on HIV/AIDS outreach. Also during the winter interses-

sion, students from NYU’s Abu Dhabi campus enrolled in the course Social

Problems in New York City, taught by Silver School faculty members. The

program graduated 46 students in May 2012.

The New York State Education Department has approved a dual-

degree between the School of Social Work and NYU’s Global Public Health

program, which will be offered in fall 2013.

Master’s ProgramThe MSW program expanded its international offerings in 2011-12. Pro-

grams in Costa Rica and Paris have continued from previous years, while

new programs in Israel and the Philippines were launched. In total, 85 MSW

students participated in these global opportunities. Beyond encouraging

students to study in other countries, NYU Silver has seen its numbers of

international students more than double over the last two years. In 2012,

the School piloted a Writing Fellows Program to expand writing services

to a larger number of international students.

The MSW program graduated 534 students, including 42 students

from the Rockland County campus and 24 students from the Westchester

County campus. One testament to the high quality of graduates, the 2011

first-time pass rate for the LMSW exam for NYU Silver students was 89 per-

cent, well above the national pass rate for first-time exams of 83 percent.

Doctoral ProgramThe School’s doctoral program underwent an overhaul as Professor Vincent

Guilamo-Ramos assumed the role of program director. Focused on its

goal of preparing the leading social work professoriate of the future, the

program renewed its emphasis on research and empirical scholarship.

Each new student was paired with a faculty member to enhance research

training and foster career development. Faculty mentors have solid track

records of developing research programs; securing extramural funding;

and publishing in top-tier, peer-reviewed journals. The doctoral program

also relies more heavily on the School’s senior faculty, who teach all doc-

toral courses.

The program created a smaller, more intimate cohort for 2011 with

greater admissions selectivity and increased attention on the financial

needs of incoming students. All six incoming students received full fund-

ing for the program’s coursework program, tuition and registration waiv-

ers, health insurance, and a competitive stipend for the first two years of

the program. In May 2012, the program graduated 20 students.

Academic programs

Excellence. Engagement. Innovation. These three words help describe an outstanding year for the NYU Silver

School of Social Work. In 2011-12, seven faculty members joined the

School, deepening our expertise in poverty, research methodology, child

well-being, and HIV prevention. We have increased the School’s research

portfolio, with total external funding now exceeding $17.7 million. Faculty

and students are engaged with the community—at NYU, in New York City,

and well beyond—through field learning, work by student organizations,

and faculty leadership roles. And our academic programs continue to

strengthen, building on the School’s reputation for clinical excellence.

In addition to our core programs promoting excellent social work skills,

research opportunities are increasingly available for students as well as

creative service-learning courses, innovative electives, and more choices

for global learning.

I look forward to working with the Silver School

community in 2012-13 as the School continues its

upward trajectory, with positive impacts for our

faculty, students, and alumni.

Sincerely,

Lynn Videka

Reducing Adolescent Sexual Risk Behavior in the BronxThe Bronx has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country, and HIV disproportionately impacts African Americans

and Latinos—the ethnic and racial background of the majority of the Bronx’s residents. Professors Vincent Guilamo-Ramos

and James Jaccard, co-directors of the Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health, have implemented a novel ap-

proach in Bronx health clinics to help turn the tide for Bronx teens.

A $2.6 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health is funding a large-scale randomized clinical trial

designed to prevent or reduce sexual activity of inner-city teens. Coordinated by social work interventionists, the study

includes an initial intervention with adolescents and their mothers during annual physicals conducted at a community health

care clinic. A social worker meets with the teen’s mother and shares specific strategies for talking with her child about delay-

ing sexual behavior and reducing risk. So far, the results have been positive. Teens involved in the intervention are more likely

to delay sexual debut and have fewer sexual partners once they start having sex. By the end of the project, the researchers

hope to further develop a practical, effective, and cost-efficient intervention that will reach large numbers of adolescents

through health care settings.

Effects of Parental Employment on their ChildrenProfessor Wen-Jui Han focuses her research on the issues surrounding policies and services designed to enhance the welfare of

children and their families, with special attention to the effects of parental employment on children’s well-being. One long-term

project that Han and her colleagues update regularly is an examination of how maternal employment in the first year of life is as-

sociated with children’s later cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes. Han and colleagues have found that maternal employ-

ment alone has a neutral effect on a child’s overall well-being, as employment tends to be associated with both positive and

negative effects on children. More influential factors may be the quality of parenting and child care that come with employment.

A second study (forthcoming in Demography) looks at trends in parental employment patterns from 1967 to 2009 and

their effect on the two resources of time and money. Today, nearly two-thirds of children have two parents working outside

the home, resulting in less time with children, but presumably more money for their family. This increase in work has improved

the economic well-being for two-parent families over the last 40 years, but has only mitigated a decline in income for one-

parent families.

Advancing HIV Science in South AfricaWith the large-scale rollout of antiretroviral treatment in South Africa, a generation of children born HIV+ will soon enter

adolescence. But judging from other countries with longstanding drug access, many of these youth will exhibit risk behaviors

that generate negative consequences for both their own and public health. With a new $3.8 million grant from the National

Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research will develop ur-

gently needed effective and sustainable HIV care and prevention approaches for perinatally HIV-infected South African youth

and their families. Under the guidance of principal investigator and Director of the McSilver Institute Mary McKay, the study

will also aim to increase understanding of behavioral and health risks in this emerging population.

The five-year study based in KwaZulu-Natal—a South African province with one of the world’s highest rates of children

born with HIV—will examine the impact of the research-based “VUKA Family Program,” a household-based intervention,

which uses illustrated cartoons to convey information to families, promote overall physical and mental health, and reduce

behavioral risk. If the program is successful, the study will also examine what it would take to expand its reach, looking at fac-

tors such as staff delivery skill, clinic organizational challenges, perception of burden, and implementation constraints.

Making the Transition to Adult Mental Health ServicesFor many people, an 18th birthday is a rite of passage leading to a new level of independence and promise for adulthood.

For teenagers involved with public systems of care, such as foster care, who have mental health challenges, turning 18 often

means aging out of the support systems they have been involved with for years. Associate Professor Michelle Munson has

studied 18- to 25-year olds and learned that several individual-level factors, such as stigma and mistrust of services, along

with multiple contextual factors, including supportive relationships, are crucial to continuing mental health services.

Building on these findings, Munson, along with Professor James Jaccard, has been awarded two research grants, one

from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and another from the New York Community Trust, to develop and evaluate an

intervention to improve continued engagement in mental health services among this population. The intervention aims to

impact barriers to service use and improve engagement and young adult outcomes. Key collaborators include second-year

doctoral student Andrea Cole, three mental health clinics and their administrators, licensed social workers, and recovery role

models. The goal is to refine treatment and training manuals, while also testing the intervention’s feasibility.

Mental Illness Recovery in Dual Diagnosed HomelessWhile the new paradigm in mental health has turned toward a consumer-driven approach to full recovery, this goal for

homeless mentally ill people with co-occurring substance abuse can be difficult to attain. Professor Deborah Padgett and

Assistant Professor Victoria Stanhope are leading a five-year study to determine what approaches are most effective in ex-

tending the promise of mental health recovery to this severely disadvantaged population. The study is funded by a $1.9 mil-

lion grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, one of the largest NIMH grants awarded for an all-qualitative study.

Through in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation of adults and their case managers in New York City

residential services, researchers contrast “housing first” and “standard care” approaches to discern their impact on consum-

ers’ lives, including social relationships, mental status, use of drugs and alcohol, and need for services. In the first two years,

Padgett’s research team has published findings showing that many residents have experienced life-long adversity yet have

achieved recovery from substance abuse. One early recommendation: greater training and support of program staff can yield

more effective engagement through knowledge of clients’ traumatic history and personal resilience.

When the Profession Becomes PersonalFollowing a crisis, people often turn to social workers for help. But what happens when clinicians are affected by the crisis

first hand? Associate Professor Carol Tosone poses this question as she compares first-hand narratives of two clinicians—one

who worked in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and one who lives and works in Sderot, Israel. One city survived a discrete

traumatic attack, the other is continuously exposed to terrorism. In both instances, the clinicians’ reaction to the events af-

fects his or her relationship—consciously or unconsciously, positively or detrimentally—with clients. The study’s conclusions

underscore the need for agencies to provide supports for their social workers and the importance of self-care. “Clinicians are

great at helping clients, but not themselves,” said Tosone.

This research is part of a decade-long interest in shared trauma, which started with Tosone’s own September 11 experi-

ence as she was in her office with a client when the planes struck the Twin Towers. She has examined shared trauma in New

Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, trained social workers in Java following the 2006 earthquake, and is part of a team of

U.S. social workers helping the Afghanistan government formalize the country’s social work profession.

Developing Leadership in Palliative and End-of-Life CareAs the population ages, the social work profession faces a growing demand for leaders across the health care continuum,

particularly in geriatrics and palliative and end-of-life care (PELC). The NYU Silver School of Social Work, a longtime PELC

leader, is working to fill this gap through the Zelda Foster Studies Program in Palliative and End-of-Life Care. Directed by

Clinical Associate Professor Susan Gerbino, the program offers cutting-edge PELC training across the career trajectory: an

MSW fellowship with a focus for field learning and course work; a post-master’s certificate program for early career social

workers; and a new 18-month fellowship in PELC leadership for mid-career social workers. Generously funded by The Fan Fox

and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, Inc. and the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation, this new fellowship provides training and a year

of individual mentorship by a PELC leader.

Zelda Foster was a pioneer in PELC, who taught in the School’s post-master’s program. Said Gerbino, “Mentoring was

Zelda’s passion as she felt that experienced social workers have an ethical obligation to give back to the profession and to the

next generation.” This program is a tribute to Foster’s vision.

Rewriting the Book on Mental Disorders The fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is scheduled

to be published in May 2013. The standard for the field, the manual shapes treatment, diagnosis, and insurance decisions. The

proposed changes have stirred up controversy as they broaden some diagnostic categories and create new disorders in other

areas. In published journal articles, University Professor Jerome Wakefield has questioned many aspects of the proposals.

He argues that clinical depression will be defined too broadly and will encompass normal sadness, such as sadness dur-

ing bereavement. A high sex drive will now become hypersexual disorder, and anger outbursts could fall under intermittent

explosive disorder. Any negative personality trait will be inflatable into a personality disorder. Wakefield argues that not every

problem outside the existing criteria should be expanded into its own general category disorder, pathologizing an entire seg-

ment of the population in the process.

The manual revisions will affect the lives of millions of Americans for years to come. The changes have the potential

to increase diagnoses and drug prescriptions and, ultimately, alter the way people think about themselves. Coverage of the

DSM-5 revisions, including comment from Wakefield, have appeared in several major media outlets, including the New York

Times, Boston Globe, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Sunday Morning.

Research FundingAs the Silver School deepens its amount and quality of research,

its external funding has grown. Beginning in 2012, total external

funding for research, evaluation, and training projects will exceed

$17.7 million, up from nearly $12.5 million at the start of 2011-12.

Multi-year projects are included in these funding amounts.

PhilanthropyTotal fundraising for the 2011-12 fiscal year raised $1.19 million

with 874 donors. Student scholarships continue to be the

School’s primary fundraising priority. We thank our generous

donors, and a full list of NYU Silver’s supporters will appear

in the fall alumni Newsletter.

nYu Silver by the Numbers

The number of

undergraduate social

work majors remained

stable, but the number

of non-social work

students decreased.

High demand for

the MSW program

remains steady.

The doctoral program

has increased its

selectivity of applicants

as the number of

applications has risen.

Enrollment ProfilesApproximately 1,385 students were enrolled in NYU Silver in fall 2011. The un-

dergraduate program enrolled 42 new students, the MSW program enrolled 481

new students, and doctoral program enrolled six new students.
