Camelia Valdes ’96, Passaic County Prosecutor
Camelia M. Valdes was drawn to criminal justice at an early age. Born in the Bronx, New York, and raised in Newark, New Jersey, she experienced the ravages of crime in those communities and resolved to make a meaningful contribution to advancing the law and public safety. After earning a degree in sociology and criminal justice, she chose Rutgers School of Law–Newark because of its strong tradition and record of public advocacy. Valdes, who has dedicated her professional career to government service, made history when in June 2009 she became the first Latina county prosecutor in New Jersey, the first woman prosecutor in Passaic County, and the first lead prosecutor of Dominican ancestry in the United States.
