Professors Jeglic and Calkins
are on a Mission to Create a
World Free of Sexual Violence

first met as psychology professors at John Jay, they were pleasantly

similar. They both were interested in exploring sexual crime and
reducing recidivism among sexual offenders. They also soon discovered
that they worked well together-so well that they started to
collaborate on academic papers, and in 2016, they co-edited a volume
titled Sexual
Violence: Evidence Based Policy and Prevention. Read more

is Ready for Law School
There's no denying that Deandra Simon, a junior who
plans to pursue a career in law, is a total go-getter. When she's not

Fellow, she's organizing campus-wide events through her role as Secretary
of the Haitian American Student Association (HASA) at John Jay. This April, Simon and the

Magic" event, which celebrates the accomplishments and
innovations of Black and Latinx women leaders from a variety of
fields, including hair, fitness, lifestyle, and fashion. Last year,

on events like "Black Girl Magic" helps create a more
inclusive John Jay community. Read more
