Dean’s
Welcome
I have always been pleased to welcome readers to Connections, although this time I am a little chagrined because much
of it is about my deanship and my transition back to the faculty. This issue tells many tales of growth and change in the
School since I penned my first Dean’s Welcome in 2006. We emphasize the successes, of course, and this issue should be
seen as a bookend to our fall 2018 issue which was a core story about the partnerships that make all of our work possible.
With these partnerships, the UMSSW has grown in size and impact, complexity and scope. Even more critical to this
is the superb faculty and staff that welcomed me to the School and those who have joined in the School’s passionate
commitment to strengthening society.
Since I began my social work career as an MSW student in 1977, I have dedicated myself and my work to understanding
how to deliver effective interventions that reduce suffering. As it was when I began here, and for all the distinguished
deans who came before me here, a new set of challenges and opportunities now stand before the School and the social
work profession. I am proud of the position I leave the School in as it continues to move forward to find new ways
to improve life in Baltimore, Maryland, and around the country. I am gratified to see much success in translating our
interventions into important advances for individuals, families, and communities. I will do everything I can to advance that
position in the months ahead. I look forward to working with all of the readers of Connections in the remainder of my term
and in my future role as a professor of social work.
I thank all of you who I have worked with and who have been the engines behind the School’s success. I ask understanding
from those who I have not engaged in ways that were as genuine and helpful as each of you deserve. I often wish I had
done better. I will endeavor to complete the remaining years of my career, here, by being of great service to the success
of the School and to continue to work to advance the profession—especially through work on children’s services and the
Grand Challenges for Social Work.
With appreciation for this great opportunity to lead,

An Era of Impact
Dean 2006 – 2020
By Wanda Haskel
Richard Barth, Dean of the School of Social Work, has announced that he will
step down from his position at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year, after
successfully leading the School for 14 years. A leader on our campus and nationally,
Dean Barth has had a significant positive impact on many people and endeavors in
the social work profession, at UMB, and beyond. Barth’s unflagging commitment to
strengthening society drove major growth at the School during his tenure, in areas
including research, infrastructure and community outreach.
“Dean Barth’s leadership has been transformational,” says
Assistant Dean for Communications Matt Conn. “He has
worked tirelessly to lift up the School, the University and
the profession of social work.”
