These projects are running the gamut. Students are helping produce port pillows for chemotherapy patients and blankets for children at area hospitals and shelters and were part of creating sleeping mats for Durham’s homeless population.
The port pillows and blankets are still in progress. The sleeping mats have been completed and delivered.

Toni Rigsbee’s uncle was just 20 years old when he was murdered.
His killer was never found.
“Our family never got resolution, and the case went cold,” said Rigsbee, 42. “I always knew I wanted to become an investigator so I could help families of victims get closure and justice.”
Rigsbee’s pathway to criminal justice made a sharp right turn during high school when she found out she was pregnant and ultimately decided to drop out.

We are building a culture right now. We are growing a premier associate degree program. We employ instructors who are specialists in their fields, and we are completely online, so our program is accessible to anyone.”
