Dr. Rosenwald is proud to be a member of the social work profession and is committed to student-centered social work education. Originally from Maryland and new to Florida, he received his B.A. in Sociology and Economics from Salisbury University, his M.A. in Sociology from Syracuse University, and his M.S.W. and Ph.D. in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.

He has also volunteered as a community mediator, a trainer with the Alternatives to Violence Project, and as a mediator and consultant for the NASW New York State Chapter Ethics Committee. Dr. Rosenwald presented nationally at conferences hosted by the Child Welfare League of America, the Council on Social Work Education, the American Adoption Congress, and the Peace Studies Association.
