2009 Interim Session Class
The SIFS Course—January 2009 |
The Southern Institute of Forensic Science and UNC’s Criminal Justice program conducted a very successful Forensic Anthropology for Law Enforcement and Death Investigators class during the 2009 interim session. This class was composed of UNC students and law enforcement professionals and was instructed by Diane France, Ph.D., D-ABFA, Forensic Anthropologist of Ft. Collins, Colorado, and Ms. Hillary Parsons, an anthropology graduate student from the University of Montana in Missoula.
She served as president of the Summit Organizing Committee on Social Justice and Diversity (SOC) and was recognized for her outstanding efforts by being awarded the UNC Club Leadership Award in 2007 and the prestigious Drs. Allen and Lily Huang’s Global Citizen Award in 2008. She was also recognized in 2008 as an outstanding scholar when she received the Award for Excellent Academic Achievement in Criminal Justice.
After graduating in May 2008, Sara moved to New York City where she is currently working for the global law firm White & Case LLP, while preparing to attend law school in the fall. Her goal is to attain a law degree in international law and public policy and become a political leader and international advocate of civil and human rights.
