“We are all affected by crime, even if we are not directly victimized,” says Associate Professor Rachel Durso, chair of the sociology department and director of the justice, law and society minor. “We make decisions about the areas we travel to, where we live, and where we shop or hang out based on our perceptions regarding our likelihood to be a crime victim.” The impact and discussion of crime can be felt across many departments within the liberal arts—and at Washington College.
“My whole life, I’ve had these two built-in best friends with me, so being out there in the world without them is going to be really different,” said Ben Ruvo, on how it feels to be approaching graduation, the last shared milestone with his siblings.
“It’s remarkable to see what kind of outcomes we get every single day, and all the ways that a Washington College education and the overall experience here is transforming people’s lives and setting them up for success, immediately after graduation.” --President Mike Sosulski
