Our faculty, staff and students in the College of Community and Public Affairs are frequently recognized for their work and accomplishments. Here are some of the most recent kudos they have earned:
Leo Wilton, assistant professor of human development and Africana studies, has been invited to present his research to the National Institutes of Health Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council. He will speak on “The Prevention Research Challenges of HIV Infection in Racial and Ethnic Communities in the United States.” He also was invited by the California Department of Health to present his research on HIV prevention in African-American gay men.
Laura Bronstein, chair of the Department of Social Work, and Malgosia E. Krasuska, associate professor in the Decker School of Nursing, along with Upstate Medical University’s Melanie Kalman and other collaborators, have received a grant of more than $4,000 through the State University of New York’s Conversations in the Disciplines program for a May 2008 conference to be titled Interdisciplinary Perspective on End of Life and Palliative Care. “Conversations” funds intercampus conferences where SUNY faculty and visiting scholars examine new trends, review promising findings and better acquaint themselves with professional developments in their fields and on other campuses.
