When Grover “Cleve” Gilmore agreed to lead the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences in 2002, his appointment was only supposed to last a year. After all, he was a longtime professor of psychology, not social work. And, the request had come from an interim president, James W. Wagner. But now, as the school launches a major new curriculum this fall, in a building expanded and fully renovated in 2016, with an endowed deanship announced in 2013, he will close nearly two decades of social work school leadership.
