Messages from the Dean
As the semester ends, I write to say THANK YOU. We have accomplished an extraordinary amount over the past 4 months. Thanks for working together to deliver:
I am deeply honored and absolutely delighted to become the next Dean of the Columbia School of Social Work.
June 28 marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, which took place at Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village.
Since Dean Garfinkel composed this message, an anti-Semitic act took place closer to home. On November 28, 2018, an act of vandalism was committed against a Jewish faculty member at Teacher’s College.
Many of us watched in outrage and horror as white supremacist and Nazi demonstrators marched on Charlottesville, VA, and took the life of counter-protester Heather Heyer in a terrorist attack.
We, the faculty at the Columbia University School of Social Work, write this statement to denounce President Trump’s discriminatory and unconstitutional executive order on immigration banning individuals from six Muslim majority countries from entering the United States.
