“Having a group of minority scholars who share, empathize, and appreciate the inequities with being a minority in Academia has been incredible. I am often   reminded that I am not going through this alone and that there are a number of intelligent, hard-working, and dedicated scholars who want me to succeed --- in other words, my perspective and research are indeed important and valuable to my discipline and field of criminology.”

-Anthony Peguero, 2007/2008 SRI Participant
