We are thrilled to announce that Professor Karen Tabb Dina has been selected as the inaugural Mark Brandt Faculty Scholar in the School of Social Work.
The Brandt Faculty Scholar was established to honor scholarship and leadership of the highest distinction in research, mentorship, and professional service. Following an open call for nominations among eligible full professors, a peer committee carefully reviewed the nominees and recommended Dr. Tabb Dina for this honor.
Dr. Tabb’s scholarship in perinatal mental health, maternal mortality, and health equity has earned national and international recognition, influenced state and federal policy, and secured substantial external research support. Equally important, she has demonstrated a deep commitment to mentoring students and junior colleagues, advancing the profession through both her scholarship and her leadership.
