A Leap of Faith 

Welcome to the first issue of The Journal of Forensic Science Education. Our vision is for the 

journal to showcase the work of forensic science educators. We feel that this first issue sets us 

sturdily on that path.  

The journal has been a goal of COFSE for years and it has taken our team two years of weekly 

meeting to produce this first issue. In this issue, there are several excellent papers by authors from 

seven institutions. We appreciate the authors going through this process of learning new software 

and the platform with us. We hope that you read and enjoy each article.  

Readers, we welcome your input. We know there may be things we can improve and we look 

forward to your feedback and ideas.  

We welcome Guest Editors who would like to edit Special Issues. We look forward to your ideas. 

Please contact us if you are interested in serving in this capacity.   

Finally, thank you to the community of forensic educators for supporting the journal and making 

this first issue possible. We couldn’t do it without you.  

 

Thank you, 

Adrienne Brundage
