Remembering Stanley Feldstein Remembering Stanley Feldstein Dr. Stanley Feldstein passed away on March 10, 2024, at the age of 93. Stanley was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1930, the eldest of fraternal twins. He graduated from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in 1953 and received a Masters degree in Psychology from Columbia University in 1954. After serving in the Army from 1954 to 1956, he returned to Columbia and completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1960. Stanley was a faculty member and research psychologist at the William Alanson White Institute and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at New York Medical College before being appointed as a Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 1971. He served on the faculty at UMBC for thirty five years, until retiring and taking emeritus status in 2006. During that time he served as principal investigator and co-principal investigator on numerous research grants; published seven books in his field, seventeen chapters in other collections, and 78 articles in academic journals; and presented papers at hundreds of conferences. He taught research methods and statistics and was an important mentor to many graduate students.

Stanley played the violin from an early age, and always loved classical music. In professional settings he was rarely seen without a jacket and tie and his French beret, but in his leisure time he liked to fish and enjoyed vacations in Martha's Vineyard and Hilton Head. He had an enduring fondness for the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and also loved a good mystery. He was an excellent cook and baker, mastering the art of making madeleines and popovers. After retiring, he and his wife Joyce traveled with friends to numerous places in the U.S. and abroad.

In addition to Joyce, to whom he was married for 59 years, he leaves his daughter, Heather, her husband Jon, and their children Ian and Isadora, as well as his son, Judd, his wife Dianne, and their children Colby, Spencer and Blake.

A celebration of Stanley's life will be held at Broadmead at a later date.

The UMBC Community is mourning the passing of David H. Greenberg on March 4, 2024. Dave joined the faculty at UMBC in 1982, and served as Professor of Economics until his retirement in 2002. Prior to joining UMBC, Dave worked for many years for the RAND Corporation and for the Office of Income Security, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Between 1968 and 1969 he served on the President’s Commission on Income Maintenance Programs. He obtained his B.A. in 1962 from Southern Methodist University and his Ph.D. in 1966 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both in Economics.

Dave was a prolific scholar, both during his career and for over a decade after his retirement. He published six books including his influential textbook Cost-Benefit Analysis: Concepts and Practice co-authored with A. Boardman, A. Vining, and D. Weimer, which has gone through five editions, the most recent being published in 2018. He published some 55 peer reviewed journal articles and 18 chapters in edited book volumes. He was an expert in the evaluation of a wide range of social welfare programs including income maintenance, welfare to work, and job training programs. He completed dozens of contract policy evaluation reports not only for U.S. organizations but also for those based in Canada and the United Kingdom. Dave was also active in teaching and policy consulting in Hungary and elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

At UMBC Dave taught courses in labor economics, industrial relations and cost benefit analysis as well as principles of microeconomics. He served on numerous Public Policy dissertation committees. He also served on UMBC’s University Faculty Review Committee. 

With his wife Linda, Dave enjoyed a range of outdoor activities such as cycling, camping and hiking. He and Linda took a number of extended driving trips throughout Australia.

When Dave joined the UMBC faculty in 1982 at the full Professor rank he contributed to raising research and scholarly expectations within the department. However, he was also an approachable and helpful mentor to junior faculty. As a new faculty member at UMBC in the early 1980s, I benefited from being able to hitch rides with Dave in the Volkswagen convertible that he had recently brought back from a trip to Germany. Dave leaves behind a very productive legacy as researcher, teacher, mentor, and conscientious academic citizen.

A “Celebration of Life” will take place on March 16th from 2 to 5 PM at Linda’s cousin's residence in Columbia, MD.
