Jeff Mohr, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., L.C.S.W.

I am a native Nebraskan and have lived in Nebraska all my life with the exception of two years in graduate school in Kansas and two years employed at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at the University of South Florida in Tampa. I began teaching at NWU in August of 2002 when I accepted appointment as Associate Professor and Director of the Social Work Program. Prior to this I was an adjunct instructor at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha for seven years. For nearly 20  years I was employed as a medical social worker specializing in the areas of oncology, bone marrow transplantation, hospice, and HIV/AIDS. In addition to my clinical work with these client groups, I also spent time serving as a clinical supervisor and an assistant department director. I was also in a group private psychotherapy practice on a part-time basis for one year. As I progressed in my clinical career, I became more interested in teaching and macro/social justice issues where my energies are now directed. Beginning in the fall of 2009 I began a new role in the Social Work program as Field Director. As I came off a sabbatical year for 2012-2013, I returned as Department Chair, Program Director and Field Director for 2013-2014. From 2014-2016 I also served as the Coordinator of our Omaha campus program. I continued to serve as Department Chair/Program Director through the 2019-20 academic year and was promoted from Associate Professor to Full Professor. I was on my second sabbatical during the 2020-21 academic year. I am now engaged in full-time teaching having passed on the Department Chair/Program Director roles to my talented and capable colleagues. I am currently engaged in research on the role of what being an "ally" to Indigenous Peoples means. I also have co-published an article addressing the bias and related social justice issues of information displayed on Nebraska State Historical markers with reference to Indigenous Peoples:
