Dr. Elizabeth Torres, Professor in the Psychology Department and RuCCS, has been personally honored by a Joint Resolution of the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly saluting the excellence of her "groundbreaking research" at Rutgers that has been "essential in shaping initiatives that transform autism medical research and treatments throughout our State." The language of the resolution is remarkable, not only praising Torres' scientific contributions and service as the Director of the New Jersey Autism Center of Excellence but also her personal qualities saying that "within all spheres of her life and work" she is a role model who sets "standard of excellence toward which others might strive."

Dr. Torres hopes that science will continue to positively affect the Public Service sector and lead to more beneficial legislature to help people. On behalf of the RuCCS staff, faculty, and students, congratulations Elizabeth!
