I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and educator with extensive experience in community-based mental health, program development, and higher education leadership. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of St. Francis, where I currently serve as Director of Field Education and Teaching Instructor for the BSW and MSW programs. My academic and professional work focus on advancing trauma-informed practice, field education models, and equitable community partnership development.
With over twenty years in social services and organizational leadership, my experience bridges clinical social work, violence prevention, post-acute healthcare, and higher education. My areas of interest include trauma, systems-level care, relational wellbeing, and the application of culturally responsive and somatic-based modalities such as Brainspotting and CBT in professional practice. I am committed to supporting students, agencies, and emerging practitioners in developing ethical, reflective, and community-engaged approaches to social work.

My research focuses on the ethical issues surrounding anonymous human remains. These are deceased people who have somehow lost their identities, through either poor record keeping, homelessness, or malicious actions such as graverobbing. At Ohio State, I studied the use of anonymous human remains in research and dissection laboratories. This is a population poorly represented in our medical and scientific policies with a long history of abuse. It is my goal to find a protective and respectful set of guidelines to best serve this group of persons.

Hello everyone reading this webpage! My name is Scott Gruenbaum, and I have been teaching chemistry at the University of St. Francis since 2015. I am originally from central Ohio, and I earned my Bachelor’s degree in chemistry and mathematics from Miami University (in Ohio, not Florida!). I then went to graduate school at Cornell University in beautiful Ithaca, New York, where I earned a PhD in theoretical / physical chemistry. (Physical chemistry is basically the intersection of physics and chemistry.) I spent three years doing postdoctoral research at the University of Wisconsin in Madison before moving to the Chicago area. My wife is an industrial inorganic chemist, and I have a daughter, a son, and a cat.

I teach social and developmental psychology and direct the Duns Scotus Honors Program. I also do research in the areas of environmental psychology, the psychology of work, educational psychology, and the psychology of minimalism.
I have a blog devoted to the “psychology of less”
When I’m not at USF I spend a lot of time taking care of my three young sons. I enjoy reading, jogging, taking cello lessons, exploring Chicago, hiking, camping, and traveling. I put my developmental psychology interest to work in the real world by leading a scouting group for young kids through the Outdoor Service Guides organization.

I began my educational history at Loyola University of Chicago where I first declared a chemisty degree. After a few semesters of taking different coursework, I fell in love with psychology and working with others. I switched my majors and graduated with my B.S. in psychology. Following my education at Loyola, I attended Aurora University and received my M.S.W degree. Knowing that I had a passion for education and research, I continued my educational journey at Capella University where I received my Ph.D.
I began my USF career in August 2019. That summer, I came across the job opportunity and I had a calling to apply. My wife graduated USF’s nursing program many years prior, and has always talked about her experience as we drove by the campus. I now get to walk the same hallways as she did when she was a student.
Outside of teaching, one of my passions is running. I have learned a long time ago that as life long learners, we must engage in those activities that provide energy to our physical and mental wellbeing. Running was my activity. I have completed 7 marathons and today continue to be invested in smaller events. Running helped me complete my academic coursework. Each week that I needed to write a paper, I would go for a run and get lost in my own thoughts about the coursework. After each run, I would apply my reflections to the paper and complete it!
I am always excited to talk to new people about social work. If you are interested in USF and our social work program, you are welcome to RSVP a time to talk with me further.

When Brien McHugh graduated from college and found a job, he realized he knew lots about the theory of his work but not much actual application. That’s when he thought, “Maybe I could teach this stuff a little differently.”
Teaching wouldn’t come until many years later. After working in radio and communications for 30 years, including stints in the banking, performing arts and gaming industries as well as the nonprofit sector, McHugh earned a master’s degree in Management from the University of St. Francis and became an adjunct professor.. “I really enjoyed teaching as an adjunct so when the opportunity to teach full time at USF came along, I jumped at the chance,” said McHugh.
Coming from the work force to teach new, young professionals, McHugh has a much insight to offer students. “Media companies are consolidating,” he says, “so the outlets for writing and broadcasting are narrowing, except for the internet. The web is screaming for good writers and professional content.”
As the communications industry changes, jobs and job functions are changing, too. Marketing, advertising and public relations used to be separate disciplines but are now being combined under a general ‘Communication’ function in the corporate world. McHugh stresses that students should broaden their skills to broaden their chances in the job market. “It’s better to know a little about graphics and audio and video in addition to writing.” he says. “Employers are looking for someone who can wear many hats.”
Other than teaching, McHugh enjoys contemplating the fish in his backyard Koi pond. “Every spring, when the herons fly back to the rookery in Plainfield, they tend to stop by my house for lunch. I used to get irritated because they’d eat the larger, more expensive Koi and leave the goldfish. Now I just buy smaller Koi and leave the rest to fate. It’s that whole circle-of-life thing.”
McHugh also enjoys reading spy novels and has recently become interested in African American Literature.
A big debate in the Mass Communication arena is Mac or PC computers. McHugh says he prefers PC but only because that is what he has used most of his life. “I’m also not a huge fan of Microsoft 2007 either but I fear it is one of those things that I will just have to get used to,” he added.
McHugh has a clear teaching philosophy, which he tries to follow every day:
McHugh has lived in the same house in Joliet for 22 years. He has been married for 30 years and has three grown children and one grandchild. As a longtime area resident, he has a sense of hometown pride at being a part of such a respected organization as the University of St. Francis. He is looking forward to a long career hear at USF. McHugh says “I hope my legacy is that I contributed to the education of students who became good people…people who realize that it’s not all about the money.”

I earned a B.S. in Biology with Honors from Loyola University Chicago, including 2 years of undergraduate research in Dr. Jeffrey Doering’s lab focused on mapping heterochromatic regions on human chromosome 21 and its role in Down Syndrome. I earned a Ph.D. in Human Genetics at The University of Chicago in Dr. Nancy Cox’s lab focused on using modeling to study the genetic architecture of the human genome and its role in causing common and complex human diseases. I completed a one-year post-doctoral position in Dr. Elliot Gershon’s lab at The University of Chicago focused on using computational methods to identify genes involved in psychiatric disorders. In 2024, I completed a graduate certificate in Applied Bioinformatics from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I was awarded the Faculty Achievement in Scholarship Award at USF in 2024-2025.
My research lab is currently focusing on understanding the evolution of genes found within the same biological pathway in the genus Drosophila. This project is in collaboration with Dr. Laura Reed at the University of Alabama – Tuscaloosa and the Genomics Education Partnership (www.thegep.org). Students use genome browsers, databases, and additional tools to annotate the coding sequence and promoter regions of newly sequenced genes in the pathway, and then make comparisons between species. Additional research projects using prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms develop based upon student interest in the fields of molecular genetics or genomics.
