| | | | Greetings from Syracuse! As any coach will tell you, it’s hard to win without outstanding players. As I enjoy my first spring semester as dean of Falk College, I’m proud to say that I’m surrounded by a dream team of talented faculty and staff who are dedicated to helping our students succeed in their academic and professional pursuits. In recent months we have promoted several members of our team to key leadership positions: Kay Bruening, Mary Graham, Katherine McDonald, and Megan Myers. Click on the links, read their stories, and you’ll know why I’m so excited about the future of Falk. From all the impactful stories in this newsletter to the launch of our new esports and communications management program in the fall, this is an exciting time to be a part of Falk College. We’re grateful you’re on our team. Go Orange! Jeremy S. Jordan, Ph.D.
Dean, Falk College | | | | | |

| | |  | | As an intern at East Hill Medical Center last spring, School of Social Work graduate student Tasha Washington ran several support groups, conducted assessments and diagnoses, and developed treatment plans. “I’ve always wanted to provide people with a space where they can feel safe enough to feel heard in a non-judgmental way and get their needs met.” | | | | | |
| | |  | | Human Development and Family Science major Calen Headley spent last spring as an intern at InterFaith Works of Central New York, where he worked with refugees who arrived through the federal resettlement program. “You just know there’s a bigger reason to everything being done here, which is to provide help to all of the refugees in Syracuse.” | | | | | |

The event will focus on the need to frame the human right to food and nutrition as a global effort. | | | | | |

| | | | Created by Dee Anna, David ’23, and Danny Sobczak, the Sobczak Family Student Support Endowed Fund was created to help Falk College undergraduate students “be as successful as their peers, and that way everybody is on the same playing field as much as they can be.” | | | | Remembering his days as a student, sports marketing expert Brandon Steiner ’81 created the Brandon S. Steiner Sport Management Student Support Fund to support the “health, housing, education, and overall wellbeing” of Department of Sport Management undergraduate students. | | | | Sign up to receive occasional texts from Syracuse University!
