Janet Perloff has made
a huge impact in a dual role at the University.
Not only is she the associate dean for research
in the School of Social Welfare, but she is also
a professor in the School of Public Health. During
her 12 years at the University, Perloff has enhanced
both schools through her service, research, and
teaching.
At the School of Social Welfare, Perloff served
as director of the undergraduate program from 1991-1993.
During that time she helped lead the accreditation
process. She became the interim dean in July of
1999 before assuming her current role of associate
dean. Among her contributions to the School of Social
Welfare are leading the research and grant development,
with funds growing from $1.5 million to $7 million
a year, and fostering new research skills in faculty
and doctoral students. She has been critical to
all facets of the school’s growth and success
in its center and institute development. Two of
her students have received external funding and
both won the Distinguished Doctoral Dissertation
Award from the University.
An outstanding teacher, Perloff has taught in
the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral
programs with equal levels of commitment and impact.
Her many contributions to the University include
her roles as a member of the Search Committee
for the executive dean for Rockefeller College.
She has served on the Subcommittee on Faculty
for the University Committee on Middle States
Accreditation, the Search Committee for the Dean
of the School of Public Health, the Research Council
of the University Senate, and the chair of the
Subcommittee on External Linkages.
Co-author of two books, Perloff received the
New York State United University Professions Faculty
Development Award for conference travel, both
in 1994-95 and in 1998-99. She has written and
edited numerous articles and book chapters in
her fields of expertise. Perloff also devotes
her time to community service as a “To Life!”
volunteer. She is also a longtime member and officer
of Maternal and Infant Network of the Capital
Region.
