Fall, 2004
This has been a very busy year for the Ph.D.
Program in Social Welfare.
To begin
with we are quite pleased to announce that eight
of our students graduated in last academic year. Steven
Ball Daria D. Hannsen and Kathlyn Wade received
the degree of Ph.D. They are the first cohort
of students from the Program to receive the Ph.D. Maureen
C. Finley, Jill Gerson, Gwyneth Lloyd, Carolyn
Messner and Carmen Solis received the degree of
D.S.W. We congratulate our recent graduates
on receiving their doctoral degrees.
As well both graduates of the program and matriculated
students have published articles in a range of
journals in and outside the field. A sample of self
reported publications follows: Julie Ross coauthored the article, ³Screening
Risks for Intimate Partner Violence in Primary Care Settings² in Health
and Social Work; Nina Aledort has recently co published, ³Shadows
of the Twin Towers: Missing Spaces and Foreclosed Opportunities² in Families
and Society and ³There¹s No Place Like Home: Permanency Planning with
Lesbian and Gay Youth in Congregate Care² in Child Welfare ; Marina
Lalayants, co authored the article Evaluating Multidisciplinary Child Abuse
and Neglect Teams: A Research Agenda in Child Welfare. Kenny Kwong
has recently co published, Culture and Medicine: Cultural Factors Influencing
the Mental Health of Asian Americans in Western Journal of Medicine and Susan
Sanchirico has a chapter in ³Teachable Moments² in Bruce Jannson¹s
edited volume Innovative Ways to Teach Policy Practice and Policy Advocacy. In
addition, Raquel Warley has recently had an article accepted for publication
on Client Assessment in EAP Œs.
Other notable accomplishments of Program graduates and matriculated students
include: William Bell¹s recent appointment as a Vice President of the Annie
Casey Foundation, Nora O¹ Brien¹s report on the FEMA response
to 9/11 which was covered by the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, AARP magazine,
the Seattle Times, NY 1 and Fox Cable News. Nora was also one of
ten invited guests to present at the Global Symposium on Aging Society in Japan
. Additionally, Lori Henninger was one of four key note speakers
at the 12th Annual Westheimer Peace Symposium. The title of her paper was ³The
Lives of Girl Child Soldiers². Finally, Mary Ann Shretzman in
her role as Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Department of Homeless Services
has been quoted in the New York Times on the refocusing of service delivery from
sheltering to permanent housing.
The applications for the program continue to increase. The academic, practice
and leadership accomplishments of the incoming class are quite remarkable. Three
of the members of the class are deputy directors of public and non profit agencies. Additionally,
members of the class have both publication records and substantial higher education
teaching experience. Others have contributed to policy and practice change. We
are very excited about the potential contributions of the incoming class. As
in the past we ask the Hunter College School of Social Work alumni to encourage
colleagues interested in moving to the next stage of their professional development
to consider applying to the Program. Our most effective network in
educating the larger public about the rich learning opportunities of the
doctoral program is Hunter alumni.
