Gifts to Forensic Science contribute to...
The Hamline Forensic Science program is setting a fundraising goal of $1,000 for Piper Funding Week to improve and update our Crime Scene Training House. Make your gift today and support the next generation of forensic scientists at Hamline.
The crime scene house is a two story, three bedroom residential house with a large backyard and unfinished basement. Students from all areas of the forensic science program utilize the Crime Scene Training House to investigate, process, and collect items of evidence in a realistic environment before further examination in our forensic laboratory. Proper handling of a crime scene and evidence is a critical skill for all forensic scientists and our house promotes proper evidence handling techniques, critical thinking skills, and hands-on learning opportunities for our students.
How Your Donation Will Make a Difference:
- Enhancing our current spaces to be more realistic so students can investigate more complex crime scenes.
- Furnishing a new space modeled to be a studio apartment.
- Repairing existing rooms, replacing damaged furniture, and replacing furnishings which have been used for biological evidence collection.
Every dollar counts, and any amount you can contribute will bring us closer to our goal. Thank you for your support and for believing in the future of Hamline Forensic Science. Together, we can create a brighter future for Hamline students.
*Any dollars raised over our goal will go toward enhancing the Forensic Science program.
