我叫史蒂文·J. Moulton, and I’m the coordinator of the Criminal Justice program at Western Piedmont Community College in Morganton, NC. 自2005年以来，我一直是这里的全职教员, and I also instruct sociology classes part time during the summer. I have taught criminal justice and sociology at multiple community colleges and universities here in our area and across the state.

我获得了教育专家学位.S.) in 2014 in Higher Education, (Adult and Developmental Education) from Appalachian State University. I received my Masters of Arts in Social Science Education from Appalachian State in 2003 and my Bachelor of Arts undergraduate degree from Oswego State University (SUNY Oswego) in 1994. (I also spent two years as a transfer student at Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, NY, 在转学攻读学士学位之前).

I was a campus police officer (Bike-Patrol) at Queens University in Charlotte, NC. I then transferred to the City of Hickory Police Department for three years and after a one-year stay in Concord, NC. I am a sworn, certified police officer in North Carolina and have worked either full- or part-time for the Lenoir Police Department in Lenoir, NC, since 2003.

当我不工作的时候, 我在陪我妻子, Amber, 还有我们的三个孩子, Kennedy, Kate, and Jack. 我喜欢看和做运动, working out, and traveling back home to New York State for visits with family and friends.

我是莎拉·欧文斯·威克斯, instructor in the Criminal Justice program at Western Piedmont Community College. My goal is to watch you grow in your knowledge and applied thinking.  My courses will challenge you to apply criminal justice foundation in a modern society.

I relate to my students, as I have been on the same path they are traveling. I first took criminal justice courses as a high school student, 然后在全职工作的同时完成了我的助理学位. The ability to work and pay my way through college afforded me the opportunity to simultaneously gain my education as well as practical work experience.

A little about me … I served as a magistrate from 2005 to 2020 and as an adjunct BLET and Criminal Justice instructor for Isothermal Community College from 2009 to 2020 before taking my position here at WPCC.

I hold a Master of Public Administration (Criminal Justice Concentration) from the University of North Carolina – Pembroke; a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Lees-McRae College, and an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Isothermal Community College.

Some of my interests outside of the classroom include travel, yoga, 做垃圾食品的试吃员, 还宠坏了我的德国牧羊犬.

I look forward to talking with you more about our program here at WPCC!
