Callie Cacchione ’24 successfully completed the forensic science course last semester. This semester, she completed an independent study in this course. She was instrumental in assisting with lab setup and class preparation. She also had to complete a research paper on forensic toxicology, specifically the use of mass spectrometry, and a capstone project on the Erie “Pizza Bomber” case. Callie will be attending Tiffin University and pursuing a degree in forensic science. We are so proud of all her hard work and can’t wait to watch her continued success! #Prep #Forensics 🔬
