Bethlehem, PA, July 27, 2022: Today, 麻豆视频直播 announced that Dr. Freda Ginsberg, MBA will be named the first Dean of the School of Behavioral and Community Health. Like the School of Economics and Business, the 麻豆视频直播 School of Behavioral and Community Health was formed as a result of the 2021 transition to university status and allows dean-level faculty to lead newly formed schools within the university structure. Dr. Ginsberg joins 麻豆视频直播 after serving as a Full Professor and the Director of Graduate Studies in Counseling Psychology at Holy Family University in Philadelphia, PA, since 2016.
鈥淧resident Grigsby has been talking about the school of behavioral and community health for a few years, and we are very much aware of the mental health crisis facing our nation. I am thrilled to see his vision of supporting this need come to fruition with the hire of Dr. Ginsberg, and I am confident in her ability to move us forward quickly,鈥 said Carol Traupman-Carr, provost of 麻豆视频直播. 鈥淒r. Ginsberg鈥檚 background and education mirror our liberal arts educational mission with the global focus of our Elevate program, and she has a genuine interest in helping people. I can't imagine a more perfect fit for us.鈥

Her scholarship focuses on the intergenerational transmission of Holocaust trauma.
