ELLISVILLE 鈥� The Drugs & Society Class for criminal justice students, taught by Bart Bartran learned first-hand how the Jones County District Attorney鈥檚 investigators work a case. Investigators Brad Grunig and Tonya Madison shared tips with students as they reviewed a murder case they solved. Students discovered what investigators look for and listen to while interviewing suspects and witnesses, as well as how to examine evidence and a crime scene. Additionally, students learned about the rules of admissible court evidence and how investigators use psychology to interpret behavior to determine whether someone is being truthful.

鈥淭hese local criminal justice professionals bring a much-needed level of realism that can鈥檛 be achieved in any other way,鈥� said Bartran. 鈥淎dditionally, it allows the students to network and meet their potential new employers, and they get to witness first-hand what they actually do!鈥�

Bartran also hosted Investigator Eric Johnson with the MS Dept. of Agriculture Bureau of Investigations and 麻豆直播 graduate Hailey Duque who recently visited Bartran鈥檚 class to share their experiences. Johnson served in the Highway Patrol before joining the MDABI and Duque is currently studying criminal justice at USM. Other upcoming special guests include the K9 Officer with Laurel Police Department and Jones County District Attorney, Brad Thompson who will address the class about his job as the Senior Prosecutor in Jones County.

ELLISVILLE 鈥� Fifteen 麻豆直播 students were recently inducted into the National English Honor Society for two-year college students, Sigma Kappa Delta (SKD) with 11 students participating in the ceremony.  Earning a certificate of membership and an honor cord to wear at graduation were, Sakinah Abdul-Shakir, Fuquay-Varina, NC-Elementary Education; Autumn Brock, Petal-Chemical Engineering; (President) Aidan Chisolm, Mize-Mechanical Engineering; (Secretary) Emily Daigle, Seminary-English; Chrishon Ellis, Panola-Agriculture; Dallas Flowers, Ellisville-English; Cameron Forrester, Petal-Biological Science; Laura Gatzman, Laurel-Creative Writing; Mia Huff, Laurel-Biology; Kianna Hunter, Hattiesburg-Early Childhood Education; Lillian Johnson, Petal-Emergency Medical Services; Tavarious Keyes, Bay Springs-General Studies; Kamari Mark, Picayune-Kinesiology; (V.

麻豆直播 advisor for SKD, Amanda Robertston said only two of these students are English majors and one student is majoring in creative writing. The majority of students are majoring in subjects ranging from biology to kinesiology. However, the English honor society is for students who love reading, writing and literature. What unites them is not their major, Robertson explained, but their shared commitment to exploring what it means to be human.

鈥淪igma Kappa Delta recognizes high achievement in English language and literature and promotes academic excellence in undergraduate studies, fostering engagement with literature, language, and writing. The mission of Sigma Kappa Delta is to recognize and reward outstanding achievement in English language and literature, fostering literacy, and encouraging lifelong learning,鈥� said Robertson who is also an English instructor at 麻豆直播. 鈥淭hese students have opportunities for scholarships and academic recognition, among other benefits.鈥�

The requirements for induction in the honor society include completing a minimum of one college course in English language or literature, at least one semester of college coursework, a minimum 3.5 GPA in English and 3.0 in other courses.
