Anjelica Gonzalez, Andrew Miranker, Stephen Pitti, and James Tierney
As a woman of color in a male-dominated field, biomedical engineer Anjelica Gonzalez strives always to remind and sometimes
convince students that anyone can make a career in science and technology.
For her efforts to promote inclusion and belonging in STEM, Gonzalez is one of four Yale faculty members to receive the inaugural Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) Dean’s Award for Inclusion and Belonging. The other honorees are scientist Andrew Miranker, historian Stephen Pitti, and James Tierney, a senior lector in English and director of the English Language Program.

Since 2018, the Yale Prison Education Initiative at Dwight Hall (YPEI) has offered for-credit Yale courses to incarcerated individuals at Connecticut’s MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution. Drawing from existing Yale classes, and with the same academic standards and rigor of on-campus classes, the initiative offers a broad liberal arts curriculum, with courses ranging from “Visual Thinking” to “Introduction to Ethics” to “Readings in American Literature.”
Now YPEI, in partnership with the University of New Haven (UNH), will expand its educational offerings, giving its students the opportunity to earn college degrees for the first time.
The new partnership, which has received a three-year, $1.5 million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will allow incarcerated students in Connecticut to earn a two-year associate’s degree from UNH by taking courses in prison classrooms taught by both Yale and UNH faculty members and graduate students.
