Dr. Ernie Jouriles recently received two forms of recognition for his work.
First, he was named the “2018 Outstanding Editorial Board Member Reviewer” from the Journal of Family Violence. That makes it three: he had previously won reviewer awards from the Psychology of Violence (2014) and the Journal of Family Psychology (2008).
Second, next month he will be serving on a panel for a “National Discussion on Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment at America’s Colleges, Universities, and Service Academies”. The audience will include representatives from Congress; university presidents, chancellors, and deans; and other leaders and experts on the topic from across the nation.
Congratulations to Dr. Jouriles!
