In what has become commonplace, faculty members at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences are often the first contact for journalists trying to make sense of a news story.
Perhaps more meaningful, these researchers’ important work often creates the headlines.
From mental health to poverty and community issues, the expertise and insight of Mandel School faculty were at the forefront of the stories making headlines this year.
University Marketing and Communications works to raise the university’s national and international profile through positive coverage of its newsworthy people, places and accomplishments in respected online and print publications and specialty media.
Look back at some of the highlights of the Mandel School in the news—keep in mind this is just a fraction of the media mentions—from 2023.
