We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rose Starr and Phyllis Caroff, two beloved professors at Silberman School of Social Work. Their unwavering dedication to education, their compassionate mentorship, and their profound impact on countless students and colleagues will be remembered fondly. Phyllis and Rose’s contributions to the field of Social Work will continue to inspire and guide us for years to come.
Hunter College’s Lois V. and Samuel J. Silberman School of Social Work has received a grant of $200,000 to diversify the pipeline of students into academic programs on child-welfare services.
The lead academician on the grant from The New York Community Trust is Professor Marina Lalayants, an international expert on child welfare.
Laura Graham Holmes has been awarded an NIH K23 Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award from NIMH. The mentored 4-year award is a bridge to independence in developing psychosocial interventions that will improve mental health and quality of life for autistic adults.A substantial proportion of autistic people identify as sexual or gender minorities (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or gender non-conforming).
