Forensic Science students visit the Forensic Anthropology Center in Tennessee

August 2022 -  Twelve (12) students from our Forensic Science program traveled to Tennessee for the 2nd Annual Forensic Anthropology Center (FAC) Engaged Learning Experience.  The FAC provides one of  a kind training on human decomposition and body recovery.  Students spent 3 days at the facility learning topics from biological profiles, pathology of injury, forensic entomology and so much more!  They had the opportunity to do a surface skeletal remains recovery as well.  During the trip, they also were able to tour the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Crime Laboratory and the Knoxville Regional Forensic Center.  It was a fantastic trip!  We hope to keep this as our annual tradition!
