Benjamin’s parents gave four of their seven University students. children the opportunity to continue their education. He was the only one who did not drop out of school.

“Even though it was really hard to learn English and keep up with my other six classes at the same time, I put a big effort, because I had set myself a goal. That goal was to one day receive my high school diploma,” Benjamin wrote in his scholarship application.

Dear Alumni and Friends, I usually write this note close to the time WOU Magazine goes to press; in fact, it’s most often the last thing that gets written. But this time, it is really near our publication deadline as I write this. The reason is that I have started, stalled, and then stopped writing at least four times. It’s just mighty difficult to write what I have to say­­because I have to say goodbye. A long time ago—in 1991 to be exact—I said goodbye to friends and family in Seattle and headed to Oregon for my new job at WOU. I didn’t know a soul; which is probably why as I look at the new students who arrive on campus each fall, I can imagine how they are feeling­­alone and a little bewildered. I certainly felt that way when I parked my car for my first day at WOU and walked to my office in The Cottage. Just like the students must feel, I felt new and out of place. And there were the questions: What are the expectations? Can I live up to them? Will I fit in? I missed my friends and family, too, just as students must miss theirs. Now, all these years later, The Cottage is as familiar to me as my own home, and the other “residents” who share it with me have become my second family.

They’ll use evidence as diverse as bullets, tire tracks, e tracks, hair and hair and body fluids body fluids to help solve to help solve the mystery. .

14 These forensic experts have learned their trade through a challenging educational program in the physical sciences, field experiences, and often internships with law enforcement agencies like the FBI and State Police. At Western Oregon University, several educational options are offered in the forensic sciences including chemistry major with a forensic chemistry option, forensic science minor for chemistry majors, and forensic science minor for non­chemistry majors. It’s common for those who are in majors such as law enforcement and psychology to minor in forensic science. In instructor Tom Barnes’ applications of forensic science class, junior psychology major and forensics minor, Chris Martinez, says she wants to be a criminal profiler. “It’s understanding criminal minds, observing behavior and making judgments,” she explained. Senior law enforcement major, Kevin Dorris, worked with detectives in the Beaverton Police Department over the summer helping to Chris Martinez and Kevin Dorris, students in investigate suicides and car accidents, collect evidence and take applications of forensic science, examine human hair fingerprints. He is minoring in forensic science. “Knowing more samples. about this will help me in my work,” he said, as he examined a human hair under a microscope.

Some students in Barnes’ class, like Kevin Dorris, will be on the scene of accidents and crimes analyzing clues; others, like chemistry/forensics major, Heather Powells, will do their work each day in the laboratory. Courtney says that when she talks to students interested in the chemistry/forensics program, she wants them to be realistic about it. “I remind them that when they get their degree, they’re a chemist,” she said. “It’s not as exciting and glitzy as they might be expecting. It’s the same kind of science day after day.” Courtney also tells students that they are trying to break into a very competitive field. At the same time, she points to the advantages of being in the Western Oregon program. “We’re known to OSP (Oregon State Police), who helped design the program. We do lab practice with OSP in their labs. This doesn’t hurt our students when they go to apply for jobs.” ­ LE
