Faculty and Staff

Amy Ginsberg

Professor • Department of Dean College of Education

Dr. Amy Ginsberg joined William Paterson as dean of the College of Education in June 2018, having previously served as dean of the School of Education at Long Island University Brooklyn. Prior to that, she served as associate dean of the School of Education and chair of the Department of Counseling and School Psychology at LIU Brooklyn.

A New York State-licensed psychologist, Dr. Ginsberg has focused her clinical work on developmental issues of young adulthood, identity development throughout the lifespan, and adjustment to disability. Her research has centered on faculty development in blended and online learning, school violence prevention and intervention, and perceptions of stuttering and those who stutter. She has taught a wide range of courses in counseling throughout her career in education and holds the rank of full professor with tenure.

Under Dean Ginsberg’s leadership, the College of Education has developed and launched new programs—such as the doctorate in educational leadership and alternate route program in career and technical education— and she expanded dual enrollment offerings with local high schools whose students earn college credits by attending classes at WP. Dean Ginsberg has secured increased funding to support scholarships and stipends for education students.
