Proud of the University of New Haven's elevation to Research Colleges & Universities. In this article, I say "Typically, you donโ€™t get to call yourself a research institution when you have most classes capped at 19 to 25 students and we do, and thatโ€™s very special."

I am honored to have been one of the 36 awardees of an ACLS Project Development Grant. This grant helps me expand my research on military sexual violence to new areas to recruit those who work directly with victims such as victim advocates. I am in awe of the other scholars on this list.
