Vanessa Centelles, MA, a doctoral student in the Department of Criminology, was selected as a 2023 American Society of Criminology (ASC) Ruth Peterson Fellow. The Ruth D. Peterson Fellowship for Racial and Ethnic Diversity Award encourages students of color, especially those from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in the field, to earn their degrees and enter the field of criminology and criminal justice. The money from the fellowship will help defray the costs of data collection for her dissertation on gender-based victimization of Hispanic/Latina women.
