In Memory of Dr. Timothy S. Carter
(August 21, 1957 - April 24, 2011)
Timothy Scott Carter, 53, from Town Creek, AL and New Orleans, LA, passed away April 24, 2011, after a valiant battle with melanoma.
Prior to his 2007 appointment at UNA as an associate professor of criminal justice, he was Chair of criminal justice at Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA. He also held prior faculty appointments at the University of Houston, Penn State-Fayette, and Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
Before his academic career Tim worked in corrections, probation, and parole for the State of South Carolina and held several military police positions with the United States Army. In addition to being widely published in the area of environmental crime, Tim received much recognition for his professional service. In 2008, he was awarded the Service Award by the Security and Crime Prevention Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. He was most honored by his selection as the 2006-2007 Makisu Award winner for his service to students while at Lycoming College.
The students, faculty, staff, and administration dearly miss him as a member of the UNA family.
