Capella University PhD Student Presents at Symposium Hosted by the FBI

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWeb) December 13, 2006 -- Donna Brandelli, a PhD student at Capella University (www.capella.edu,) an accredited online university, presented at the National Crime Lab Directors Symposium in Atlanta. The symposium, which is hosted each year by the FBI, was attended by municipal, county, state and federal crime lab directors from across the country. Brandelli, a forensic identification specialist with the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department, presented on research she conducted on the durability of fingerprints, particularly on the permanence of friction ridge skin.

"We essentially showed that fingerprints do not change over time. They are permanent and unique," she said.

Brandelli conducted the research, which the FBI commissioned, with five other specialists around the country. During her presentation, she discussed the benefits of the partnership, as well as the different technologies used. The research is the first phase of a planned long-term study. The fingerprints being analyzed will continue to be gathered over a period of several years with the expectation that they will remain unchanged over time, other than minor changes due to trauma.

For her doctoral dissertation at Capella, Brandelli plans to study whether jurors today believe the portrayal of forensics shown on television crime dramas is based on reality. She plans on completing the human services online degree program at Capella with an emphasis on criminal justice in 2007. Nearly 45 percent of Capella's 16,000 online degree students are pursuing PhDs.

Sourcing College Money Without The Need For A Cosigner
With education costs continuing to rise each year it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain the money necessary for a college education and many students spend more time worrying about raising the money needed than they do working at their studies. As if this was not bad enough far too many students discover that once they have left college they are left with so much loan debt that it quite simply drags them down and will probably take many years to pay off. Now, if this paints a grim picture then for many students the problem of financing a college education is increased by the need to raise the necessary money without having a cosigner to their loans.
