Herman D. Stein, provost emeritus and the John Reynolds Harkness
Professor Emeritus of Social Administration and former dean of
the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, was awarded the
Frank and Dorothy Humel Hovorka Prize at CWRU's commencement convocation.
The prize was created by Dorothy Humel Hovorka, a member of CWRU's
board of trustees whose husband, the late Frank Hovorka, served
for many years as a distinguished member of the faculty of the
CWRU chemistry department.
Stein's career as a social worker, scholar, teacher, author,
University leader and adviser on community and international issues
is now in its seventh decade. After 16 years on the faculty of
the Columbia University School of Social Work, Stein came to CWRU
in 1964 as dean of the School of Applied Social Sciences, since
renamed the Mandel School. He subsequently served as provost for
the social and behavioral sciences and twice as University provost;
as University vice president; and since 1974 as University professor,
the highest CWRU faculty rank attainable.
Locally, in 1968-69 he chaired the Mayor's Commission on the
Crisis in Welfare in Cleveland. Stein has a long record of close
work with UNICEF, including five years in full-time service and
eight years as senior adviser to the executive director. He also
founded and directed for five years the Global Currents Lecture
Series at CWRU. He currently sponsors the annual Herman D. Stein
Lectureship in International Social Welfare at the Mandel School.
In addition to provost emeritus, Stein also is a University
professor emeritus and dean emeritus. In 1994, he became the 12th
recipient of the University Medal, CWRU's highest honor. Pomp
and circumstance
