Longmeadow, MA— Calling all CSI lovers! Have you ever dreamed of working in the forensic field or listening to true tales from a local crime expert? Bay Path University's Forensics, Justice & Science Night will feature keynote speaker Jim Hisgen, a Terrorism Supervisor for the FBI in Western Massachusetts. Agent Hisgen will delve into a local, recent, real-life case of homegrown terrorism and how digital forensics and forensic science helped to solve the case.

The evening’s focus sessions will bring science to life with hands on activities with Bay Path faculty, a tour of state-of-the-art and completely renovated laboratories, and demonstrations featuring the latest in technology, including Bay Path’s 3500 Genetic Analyzer, Confocal Microscope, and the Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer. Attendees can participate in a focus session on digital forensics, forensic psychology, forensic science, justice and legal studies, or biological, medical and neuroscience.

“We are a learning community where Bay Path professors get to really know their students through one-on-one hands-on experiences in their scientific discipline,” shared Dr. Christine Bacon, Bay Path’s science department chair. “We think the best way to learn science is to actually do science.”
