After running successfully for five summers, the program expanded in the fall of to offer fellowships to college students during the fall and spring semesters. The Fellows also develop research proposals that fit within their own unique interests. This fellowship was funded by the Petit Family Foundation in honor of Hayley Petit and her resilience, strength, and advocacy. This experience exceeds what I can justify into words. Over the course of my time at the IPC, I was given the privilege of working side by side with highly educated and trained individuals in the field of injury and violence prevention. We discussed relevant issues in our society today, such as Intimate Partner Violence IPV , teen driving safety, and youth suicide. All in all, the information I learned has opened my eyes to societal concerns that I have never acknowledged prior to this fellowship. The mission of this fellowship became quite apparent—that injuries and violence, whether intentional or unintentional, are very much predictable and preventable acts.
