Meagan Lederman

Meagan Lederman is an experienced social work professional, driven by a commitment to social justice, education, and community engagement. Meagan completed her undergraduate studies from Iona University and proceeded to earn her Master’s of Social Work (MSW) degree from Fordham University. The first decade of her career was focused on direct service where she provided support to children within the child welfare system, offered counseling services for children and families, provided educational trainings, conducted needs assessments, and advocated for systemic change.

In 2018 Meagan began working in higher education as a college counselor. The culmination of previous experience along with the opportunities to make a stronger impact on her community through education was the right fit.

After 3 years of managing those programs, Meagan transitioned to Strategic Operations, focusing on creating meaningful partnerships for the college. Meagan believes in the power of collaboration and strives to create networks that support the mission of the College of Social Work, the success of its students, and the communities we serve.
