INFORMATION SESSION TO BE HELD AT USA BALDWIN COUNTY
Interested in getting a degree? Attending an information session at the University of South Alabama Baldwin County campus is a great introduction to the campus, and a way for existing students to get answers they may have about registration, programs, and student services. The information session will be held on Thursday, April 26, at 6 p.m. at 10 N. Summit Street in Fairhope.
Advisors for USA Baldwin County’s degree completion programs will be available. This includes Adult Interdisciplinary Studies, Communication, Criminal Justice, and Education, as well as a general degree advisor. Tours of the campus are led by USA Baldwin County faculty and staff. For more information, call (251) 928-8133 or visit www.myusabc.com.
Joey Stabler, a sophomore majoring in Criminal Justice at USA Baldwin County, says he is following in his father’s footsteps. His father has been in law enforcement for over 20 years and is currently an Alabama Bureau of Investigation Corporal Agent. Stabler says his goal is to one day become an Alabama State Trooper and eventually work on the tactical team, which is basically S.W.A.T. Stabler grew up on the Eastern Shore and graduated from Daphne High School. He chose to attend the USA branch campus in Fairhope because it is close to home and the classes are smaller and more intimate. Stabler works for the USA Campus Police Department in Mobile and really enjoys his job on the main campus, however, he says that he prefers the small town feel of Baldwin County for the class setting. Stabler started an internship with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office in the Narcotics and Criminal Investigations area on April 2, 2012. “I just like to serve people,” Stabler said.
One of the biggest advantages of the Criminal Justice program at USA is that many of the professors have actually worked in the Criminal Justice field. Stabler says the “Drugs and Crimes” class he is currently taking at Baldwin County is his favorite so far. “The instructor teaches from his experiences with the Drug Enforcement Agency and I find that interesting,” Stabler said.
