The Center for Community Research and Evaluation (CCRE) at the University of Memphis is launching a new research unit dedicated to improving the transparency, accessibility and usability of Shelby County’s criminal justice data.

Her story is a reminder that travel, learning and cultural exchange can be truly transformational for our students.
