Scott R. Jones Sr. Forensic Examiner Presents to Loyola University Chicago
CHICAGO, IL
- April 26, 2007:
Mr. Scott R. Jones, Senior Forensic Examiner with Chicago-based computer
forensics firm, Forensicon, Inc., was invited to discuss computer forensics
with students at Loyola University Chicago's Watertower Campus. Mr. Jones
has been consulted by Loyola University Chicago faculty previously to
provide insights from his years of hands-on forensic investigations
experience as well as his experience as an instructor in computer forensics
at Wilbur Wright College in Chicago, IL. The discussions were intended to
discuss the creation of a new minor degree studies program related to
computer forensics and to provide students with a high-level reality-based
view of the opportunities for employment as well as the types of case work
performed by experts in the field.
The field of computer forensics and corporate security is witnessing rapid growth. While few universities currently offer computer forensics as a major, or a graduate degree in the discipline, many are undertaking the process of putting these programs in place. For students with an interest in IT, legal, criminology, and who are comfortable presenting to groups, computer forensics presents an exciting opportunity. Mr. Jones educated the students on the intricacies of working in this demanding and challenging field as part of Forensicon's effort to provide support to area public educational institutions.
