“[Investigation: Detective McDevitt] was a perfect combination for my students—it incorporated history, acting,
forensics, and research, and my students were enchanted. No small task. The presenters were upbeat and
interesting and highly interactive. I was thrilled for my students and look forward to other opportunities to do
similar activities. Thank you so much!”
