Many years ago, she ignited a passion for social justice in me; not only by the concepts she taught, but by the examples she set. I believe my decision to become a social worker is largely because of what she exposed me to. I became involved in the criminal justice system because of her. I later mentored social work students who wanted to intern in the correctional system. I tried to teach them to have compassion the way Dr. Chesney-Lind taught me to have compassion. I am thrilled for Dr. Chesney-Lind.
