MSC of Mississippi is pleased to announce the hiring of Jarrod Smith as a new forensic science intern. Jarrod is a senior at The University of Southern Mississippi studying forensic science and physics. During his internship with MSC, Jarrod will earn college credit while serving as a technical assistant. Jarrod’s training in forensic science, physics, and mathematics will allow him to be an asset to MSC throughout his internship.
MSC of MS brought Jarrod on board by way of an existing partnership with the forensic science department at The University of Southern Mississippi. The Forensic Science Program at Southern Miss, led by Dr. Dean Bertram, is one of the top programs in the country. Once part of the Polymer Science Program at Southern Miss, the Forensic Science Program has quickly expanded over the last decade to become a prominent part of the university’s College of Science and Technology. In addition to hosting the International Forensic Science Academy, Southern Miss’ forensics department is constantly engaged in cutting-edge research and development.
Prior to his joining MSC of Mississippi as a forensic science intern, Jarrod had just returned from a class trip to Washington, D.C., where he visited the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Capitol Police.
