As we announced in our January–March 2013 issue, the publisher and editor of the Journal of Teaching in Social Work inaugurated an annual Florence W. Vigilante Award in honor of its founding editor. As a lasting tribute to Dr. Vigilante, this award will recognize the best article published in the preceding year.
We are pleased to announce that the winners of the Ninth Annual Florence W. Vigilante Award are the authors of the article titled, “Including Neuroscience in Social Work Education: Introducing Graduate Students to the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics,” which was published in Volume 40, Issue 4 (2020). The article fills in a gap on the incorporation of neuroscience in social work education through the application of a novel clinical decision-making tool.
We congratulate coauthors Christie Mason, Brian Kelly and Virginia McConchie of the Loyola University School of Social Work in Chicago. In recognition of the importance of their contribution, we have posted the entire article online at www.tandfonline.com/WTSW and made it available as a free download in PDF format for printing.
We are very proud of Drs. Mason and Kelly and Ms. McConchie, and of their seminal contribution to the scholarship of our profession. They are worthy recipients of the Ninth Annual Florence W. Vigilante Award.
