In Remembrance of Sippio Small

Written by Ackerman Institute. Posted in News Blog

It is with great sorrow that we share the news of the passing of our friend, and Ackerman faculty member, Sippio Small.

Sippio was a man of passion and conviction, and he believed deeply in creating change for social workers of color and for society at large. Sippio began his affiliation with the Ackerman Institute in 1989, and was a pillar of the social work community.

Sippio was a visionary teacher and thinker. In 1992, he co-founded Ackerman’s Social Work and Diversity Program, which led to powerful new approaches in the therapy room. Through his work with this groundbreaking program, Sippio mentored students of color and endeavored to increase racial equity and justice in the field of social work. In 2019, Sippio and the Social Work and Diversity Program were recognized with the Ackerman Legacy Honor.

Written by Ackerman Institute. Posted in News Blog

GivingTuesday 2019

On #GivingTuesday – December 3rd we will be crowdfunding for the Social Work & Diversity Program. Crowdfunding is a fun way for the entire Ackerman community to exercise our collective impact on a single day.

Earlier this fall our Social Work & Diversity Program received Ackerman Institute’s Legacy Honor. With a goal of training a critical mass of therapists of color, the Social Work & Diversity Program has created a paradigm shift with impact in the therapy room, in the classroom, and throughout the field of family therapy. We are grateful for our 27 year partnerships with the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, the NYU Silver School of Social Work, and the Columbia University School of Social Work. The Social Work & Diversity alumni include 148 members, working locally and nationally. Nine serve on the Ackerman Institute faculty.
