Using his past experiences to positively motivate himself, Marcus Carlisle entered the criminal justice field with a goal of becoming a juvenile probation officer. Knowing he can relate to troubled kids and their parents makes his career choice a slam dunk. 🦂

As Dr. Derric Carter ...shares, “Marcus made class engaging because he was interested in the content...as an instructor, that is half the battle.” He is graduating Cum Laude.
