“Special Agent Foster will explain
why he made the fascinating career change from ordained minister to FBI agent,”
William Crowley, J.D., assistant professor of the Justice, Law and Security

similar than they appear.”
The presentation will be held in

Mr. Crowley said, “Special Agent
Foster’s presentation will positively impact both our students and the entire
La Roche community by exposing them to someone who went from one interesting
career of service based on faith to another based on the rule of law.”
The lecture is free and pre-registration
is required. Space is limited. Only those holding a registration
email confirmation will be admitted.
In addition to being an
investigator on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, Special Agent Foster’s current
duties for the Pittsburgh office of the FBI include Crisis Negotiation

Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) Religion Outreach Coordinator.
The event is co-sponsored by the La
