FORBES MAGAZINE FEATURE & NATIONAL SCHOLAR AWARD
Forbes magazine recently featured research co-authored by Diana Sun, Ph.D., assistant professor in the School of Criminology & Criminal Justice, and published in Criminology, one of the premier journals in this discipline. The researchers examined the links between immigration flows and community drug problems at the county level, over time. Findings reveal that immigration is not associated with higher levels of overdose or homicide deaths, and when effects are significant, immigration is linked to lower levels of overdose mortality across multiple substances and destination types.
Excerpt from Forbes:
"Blaming immigrants for drugs and crime is a longtime strategy of politicians seeking votes. However, research shows immigrants are associated with fewer drug overdoses and homicides in an area, the opposite of what several office seekers have argued." Read full article

Furthermore, the American Society of Criminology’s Division of Communities and Place awarded Sun the Ruth D. Peterson and Lauren J.

Sun was recognized for this accomplishment at ASC’s meeting in Atlanta earlier this month.

CSWE MINORITY FELLOWSHIP
Claudia Montas, Master of Social Work (MSW) student, has received a highly coveted minority fellowship from the Council of Social Work Education, the governing body for social work education in the United States. The fellowship award is for Master of Social Work students who demonstrate a strong commitment to addressing the behavioral health needs of underserved racial/ethnic populations. The award includes specialized training, a quarterly stipend, mentorship, and professional development support.
"The Phyllis & Harvey Sandler School of Social Work does a beautiful job teaching their students theories and techniques to use in practice as a framework," Montas said, "but above all, they highlight the importance of touching the lives of those we work with through a person-centered approach, raising the importance of community."
The fellowship program supports the mission of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to reduce the effects of substance abuse and mental illness on America’s communities by increasing the number of individuals trained to work with underrepresented and underserved racial/ethnic minority persons with or at risk for mental health and/or substance abuse disorders.
