In memoriam: Max Bromley
The USF Department of Criminology mourns the sudden death on Dec. 27, 2022 of Associate Professor Emeritus Max Bromley, EdD. Max was the longest-serving faculty member of the department, his affiliation spanning six decades. Max first became involved as an adjunct instructor from 1975 and taught courses in that capacity until 1986 when he was hired as an assistant professor in the USF Criminology Department. During the last 47 years, Max taught many courses, particularly in the areas of law enforcement and campus security.
“Max provided the blueprint on how to live a successful, meaningful, and impactful life," said Professor Kathleen Heide, PhD. "His legacy enhances the lives of tens of thousands of people, including his wife and two children, whom he loved with all his heart.” Read the full story here.

- More than $11M of criminal justice costs avoided for grantees who track these impacts
- More than 3,300 individuals served reinvestment grant programs in FY21-22
- 100% satisfaction with CJMHSA TAC technical assistance events
- More than 15 USF faculty and external subject matter experts engaged to support TAC events
This report can be used by researchers, community leaders and policymakers to measure the impact of grant funds and monitor systems change initiatives throughout the state.

No Health without Mental Health! Integrating Depression Care with HIV Prevention and Treatment Services
Jan. 19 | 12 p.m. MST (2 p.m. EST)
Zoom
The need for mental health services globally is unprecedented, especially in the context of the COVID-19
pandemic. Yet most people in both high- and low-resource
settings in need of mental health services go without,
creating a mental health "service gap." The field of global
mental health is dedicated to closing that gap. Jerome Galea, PhD, LCSW, RCSWI, assistant professor in the USF School of Social Work, will speak about integrated HIV and mental health care in the context of increasing access to evidence-based mental health services for all.
