School of Social Work Professor Emeritus Dies at 80
School of Social Work Professor Emeritus Marion Becker died on December 16, 2021 from a heart attack. Dr. Becker left a long-lasting impact on many people and our college and will be truly missed. Dr. Becker's work focused on quality of care and quality of life outcomes for vulnerable populations, with a particular emphasis on older adults with co-occurring mental and physical health disorders. To share the words of her colleagues, Dr. Becker was "a dedicated and highly productive professor, a gifted teacher, an outstanding mentor to both students and younger faculty, and a good friend to many."

The study team at the University of South Florida Department of Child and Family Studies is conducting a national online survey of former youth residents of residential treatment facilities and their parents and caregivers to understand their experiences and perspective of the care received by the facilities. The types of facilities include programs such as therapeutic boarding schools, wilderness camps, addiction treatment centers, residential treatment centers, and boot camps.
The survey will be completed online via a web-based survey link. The information shared will be anonymous and cannot be linked to individuals in any way. We will create a report based on the answers provided by all survey participants to inform policymakers, parents, teens, and treatment providers with the goal of improving services and regulations. The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.
If you are a parent of someone who attended a residential program as a teenager between 2017 and 2021 you are invited to complete the parent survey.
If you are a young adult who attended a residential program as a teenager between 2017 and 2021 you are invited to complete the young adult survey.
Follow this link to learn more about study eligibility and to complete the survey: https://www.usf.edu/cbcs/cfs/research-training/surveys/index.aspx
