Gladys González-Ramos

Gladys was a mentor and my private practice supervisor for several years, late 80's to early 90's. She was a true professional, a role model, and caring person. I feel privileged to have known Gladys. My condolences to her family.

Gladys Gonzalez-Ramos was the best professor I have ever had. I looked her up today to send her an email to let her know of how she touched my life back in grad school at NYU. I am so saddened to learn of her passing. She was brilliant and demanded the best of her students as she knew we were capable. Gladys, you touched me and so many and I thank you. Rest in peace my brilliant teacher. Jennifer Kelman NYU School of Social Work 1990

Gladys taught me in three different courses at NYU 1988-1989. I have a picture taken with her on graduation day 1990.

I still refer to them. And, my clinical supervisees/trainees over the years have...

Gladys was one of those few incredibly gifted and special people who worked to make the world better for everyone. We are grateful for all that she did for so many and will continue to carry on her work.

To the Ramos and Loprerena families,

Her care and diligence to her work and her clarity of thought enriched my understanding of the field that has been the foundation of all my clinical...

To the Ramos and Loprerena families.
In 1990, Gladys and Lucretia Phillips team taught a course on ethnocultural isssues at NYU. I was in that class. It was the beginning of a personal and professional broadening of my perspective on people and all of their complexities. My experience of, and what i learned in that class has remained with me all these years. I have always had warm memories of these two dynamic people. It saddens me to hear of Gladys dying so young and to think of what...

Dear Ernesto: I am so deeply sorry to hear of your sad loss. Your wife clearly was a remarkable person in every way and an outstanding leader in her fields. More than that, she obviously genuinely cared about people and about how to make their lives better. The world would be a much better place if we had more of her. I regret greatly that I did not know her. You and your family are in my thoughts during your time of grief. I hope you can take great comfort in the joy of sharing your...
