BINGHAMTON — Binghamton University has appointed Laura Bronstein the next dean of the College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA).
An influential social-work scholar who has served as interim dean of the college since June 2013, Bronstein will assume her new role on Jan. 2, 2014, Binghamton University said in a news release.
“I am thrilled to lead CCPA in its next stage of development and build on the work that Dean Patricia Ingraham began,” Bronstein said in the release.
Binghamton University Provost Donald Nieman said that Bronstein’s strong record of scholarship and external funding, successful collaborations with community partners, and academic leadership brought her to “the top of a very competitive field.”
Bronstein joined the Binghamton University faculty in 1999, and was a founding member of its Department of Social Work, also serving as chair from 2006 until her appointment as interim dean in June 2013.
Her research focuses on interprofessional and interagency collaboration as well as social-work practice with aging populations.
Bronstein has also brought insights from her scholarship to a number of successful collaborations with community partners, the university contends. That includes providing leadership for SHARE, a federally funded, $3.2 million collaboration among BOCES, Broome County schools, and Binghamton University designed to develop safe school environments and improve mental-health services in schools.
