Four highly promising professors in diverse fields have been awarded the Phillip and Ruth Hettleman Prizes for Artistic and Scholarly Achievement by Young Faculty at UNC. Among them are Krista Perreira, associate professor of public policy and a Carolina Population Center Faculty Fellow.

Excerpt:

“Because of the interdisciplinary nature of her research and its emphasis on original data collection, Perreira’s contributions have extended beyond public policy to demography, education, psychology, public health and sociology as well, said Pete Andrews, professor and department chair.”

The Hettleman Prize, which carries a $5,000 stipend, recognizes the achievements of outstanding junior tenure-track faculty or recently tenured faculty.
