Flood Endowed Professor of Criminal Justice; Dr. Angela Taylor, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice; Dr. Maurice Mongkuo, Professor of Public Administration; Dr. Alexandru Stana, Assistant Professor of Communication; and Letitia Johnson-Arnold, Medical and Health Program Consultant in Student Health Services.
