Forensic Science Welcome Back - Fall 2024
Welcome Back, Forensic Science students! A Welcome Back Pizza Party was held on September 10th to kick off the new fall semester. This event was co-organized by the Forensic Science Division of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and the Scientific Association of Forensics (SAF) and supported by the College of Science Dean's Office.
This serves multiple purposes: 1) to provide an opportunity for students to exchange and mingle after summer break; 2) to welcome new Forensic Science students; 3) welcome back to current students; 4) introduce SAF and help students be involved in the forensic community.
Dean of the College of Science, Dr. Kirken, Chair of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Dr. Cabrera, and Forensic Science Program Director, Dr. James Li, gave welcome remarks and introduced recent updates of the FS program. About 90 people, including many faculty members such as Associate Dean Dr. Walsh and former Biology Interim Chair, Dr. Charles Spencer, attended the event. Academic Advisor, Ms. Navarro, was also in attendence to answer curriculum related questions from the students.
