Purdue University Northwest faculty members Jodi Allen and Shontrai Irving have been named scholarship of engagement fellows for the 2020-2021 academic year. 

Allen serves as assistant professor and family nursing practitioner program coordinator in the College of Nursing.

Irving, who serves as clinical associate professor of business law in the College of Business, were among 14 faculty members chosen to participate in this year’s program from across the Purdue system.

Allen, a working nurse practitioner, has partnered with Sojourner Truth House in Gary to focus on women who often fall through the cracks once they are housed.  

Irving, a practicing attorney, has partnered with the Lake County Bar Association and the Kimbrough Bar Association to create a mentorship program for PNW students.
