Mandel School Dean Grover C. Gilmore to retire at end of academic year

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.
