For those who have not already heard, the Wurzweiler community has suffered a great loss. This past weekend, Dr. Carmen Ortiz Hendricks has passed away. The following is from President Richard M. Joel:

Dear members of the YU Community,

I am saddened to inform you of the passing of Dr. Carmen Ortiz Hendricks, the Dorothy and David I. Schachne Dean of the Wurzweiler School of Social Work.

Dean Hendricks joined Wurzweiler in 2005 as professor of social work and associate dean. I had the great privilege of appointing her dean in 2012, when she became the first Latina dean of a New York City social work school.

As dean, she upheld the values of the profession both by example, and in her depth of caring and commitment for students and the broader community. She was an accomplished scholar, and was adored by her colleagues and pupils. Carmen was that rare combination of warmth and rigor - the sun shone more brightly on Yeshiva University with her presence. She taught us all and will be missed.

Dr. Nancy Beckerman, member of the Wurzweiler faculty for more than 25 years, will serve as interim dean.

On behalf of Yeshiva University, I would like to express my sincerest condolences to her beloved husband, James, and her entire family.

Richard M. Joel
President
Bravmann Family University Professor
