FAYETTEVILLE, NC— Alysa Freeborough has been accepted as a student affiliate to the
International Association of Identification, (IAI) considered by many the most prominent CSI specific
association in the world. Ms. Freeborough is the first student from Methodist University to apply for and
be accepted in the IAI. Methodist University is the only university in the region that has an affiliation
with the prominent forensic science associations. Alysa Freeborough is from Warren, PA.
As a student at MU, Alysa and several others have taken full advantage of attending forensic
science training conferences in Washington, DC, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Charlotte, Raleigh, and many
other great cities. There are thousands of recipients of the IAI magazine ("IDentification News"),
including nearly 16,000 law enforcement agencies.
As of 3 years ago MU has been listed on the AAFS website as an institution of higher education
in forensic science. At the last CJFSA meeting two weeks ago, a new/freshman Forensic Chemistry
student explained that she selected MU as a direct result of reading about our program on the AAFS
website. She is one of many who found us in that manner.
Methodist University is an independent four-year institution of higher education with
over 2,400 students from 41 states and 53 countries. Methodist University offers over 70 majors and
concentrations, three master’s degree programs, and 19 NCAA III intercollegiate sports. For additional
information, please call (910) 630-7043 or go to pmcevoy@methodist.edu.
