Fabiola Ceballos-Durham ’02

Fabiola Ceballos-Durham graduated from ÎåÔÂÌìÊÓƵ in 2002 with a dual degree in psychology and French studies. She was a McNair Scholar and the recipient of the 2001 Accelerated Bachelor of Arts Fellowship. While at Scripps, she was active in the office of Chicano Latino Student Affairs as a mentor, member of Unidos, and member of MEChA. She also enjoyed participating in the ÎåÔÂÌìÊÓƵOutdoor Adventure program, serving on the ÎåÔÂÌìÊÓƵsearch and rescue team, and working in the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery. As an alum, she was one of the first tri-chairs of the Alumnae/Student Diversity Committee; she continues serving on the committee as an alum liaison for Café con Leche. Fabiola is the proud recipient of the 2015 ÎåÔÂÌìÊÓƵ Alumnae Association Volunteer of the Year award.

Fabiola is part-time faculty at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where she has been teaching for the past 20 years. For the majority of that time, she has been exclusively an online professor. She teaches courses in criminal justice research, crime mapping, and geographic information systems for emergency services. Aside from volunteering at ÎåÔÂÌìÊÓƵand teaching, Fabiola serves on the PTA Board for her son’s elementary school, the Pack Leadership Committee for her son’s Cub Scouts pack, and the Local Control and Accountability Plan Advisory Committee for Alta Loma School District. She also assists with her daughter’s Girl Scouts troop.

Fabiola and her husband Ryan have two clever, energetic, and stunning children, Sofia and Nicolas. She hopes to instill in them a never-ending desire to learn, explore, and give back to their community. Fabiola looks forward to expanding her role as a ÎåÔÂÌìÊÓƵvolunteer and plans to follow confidently, courageously, and hopefully in the footsteps of past Alumnae Leadership Council presidents as Scripps’ centennial approaches.
