Rosanna Breaux, assistant professor of psychology in the College of Science at Virginia Tech, has been named the Jerry L. Hulick Faculty Fellow for Special Needs, Disabilities, and Inclusion by the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors.

The fellowship was established through a gift from Jerry Hulick, who earned a degree in political science in 1973, to recruit, develop, and retain outstanding faculty whose research, teaching, outreach, and/or public policy efforts positively impact the disabilities and special needs communities. Hulick, who served as general agent of The Washington Group of MassMutual from 1986-2004, also founded The Washington Group Special Care Planning Team, specializing in financial planning for individuals with special needs. He previously served on the board of the Virginia Tech Foundation and on the advisory board for the Virginia Tech Center for Autism Research.
