Lafayette Alumni News, September 1997 – Darlyne Bailey ’74, dean of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, has been elected to a five-year term on Lafayette’s Board of Trustees.
Bailey, of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, has held her current position since May 1994 and has been a member of the university’s faculty since 1988.
In 1994, she became the first woman to receive the College’s George Washington Kidd, Class of 1836, Award for outstanding professional achievement, one of the Alumni Association’s highest honors. In 1995, Lafayette appointed her an associate member of the trustees’ Committee on Educational Policy.
Bailey earned an A.B. degree in psychology from Lafayette, a master’s degree in psychiatric social work from Columbia University in 1976, and a Ph.D. degree in organizational behavior from CWRU’s Weatherhead School of Management in 1988.
She recently received a “Gems” of Greater Cleveland Award from the Junior League of Cleveland, Inc., and was selected for Leadership Cleveland for 1996-97. In 1993 she received a three-year Kellogg National Fellowship as part of a program that aims to expand the nation’s pool of capable leaders.
Bailey also serves on the Tiffin University Board of Trustees and served as a reviewer for President Bill Clinton’s Summer of Service program. She is the principal investigator of a Cleveland Foundation-funded initiative that is developing an abilities-based school-wide educational curriculum and is desigining and overseeing an evaluation process for a major federal housing authority project in Cleveland. Her previous research explored the structure and strategies of national non-profit organizations, evaluation and development of family-service agencies, and the management of diversity in the workplace.
Before joining the CWRU faculty, Bailey spent four years coordinating specialized outpatient treatment groups for the chronically mentally ill in East Orange, N.J. Before that, she spent three years as director of emergency-access services at a mental health agency in Englewood, N.J.
