University to offer CSI Camp
Waynesburg University will offer its 11th annual Crime Scene Investigation Camp for current high school sophomores, juniors and seniors from June 18 through June 23.
Participants will learn from certified experts in the university’s Department of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences and will be offered hands-on experience in related fields. Professors from the Department of Chemistry and Forensic Science and the Biology Program will also present their expertise.
Each day of the camp is filled with hands-on activities and engaging sessions about criminal justice and investigation that will show students what to expect from a major and/or career in those fields. Professors at the university who have spent years working in their respective fields, which include law enforcement, criminal investigation and forensics, will share their expertise and demonstrate essential skills.
“We want (attendees) to learn more about law enforcement and forensics to help them make informed decisions about what they might want to study in college or pursue as a career, and we want them to find out what it’s like to be a student at WU,” said Mike Cipoletti, camp director and assistant professor of forensic science, in a release recently issued by the university.
The fee is $500, which includes meals, housing and materials for the week. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and a $100 deposit is required.
