Dr. Damon Andrew, Dean of the College of Health and Human Services at Troy University, has been recognized with the Emerging Leader Award for 2011 by the American Association of University Administrators.

The AAUA Emerging Leader Award is a nationally competitive award that recognizes an early-career administrator in higher education who has received recognition from peers, superiors and subordinates, and who is deemed to show promise of emerging as a future prominent leader in American higher education. Andrew is the first administrator from the University to earn the distinction.

“Dr. Andrew’s selection brings deserved recognition to him as an emerging leader in higher education and is certainly consistent with how he is perceived at TROY,” said Dr. Earl Ingram, Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

TROY, AL (WSFA) - The same man accused of murdering Anniston Police Officer Justin Sollohub has a record in Pike County with charges including assaulting a police officer.

Joshua Eugene Russell is facing a capital murder charge in connection with the shooting death of Anniston Police Officer Justin Sollohub. Currently, Russell still has active warrants in Troy.

Russell is wanted in connection with a May 24 assault of a Troy Police Officer. At the time, two detectives were following up on recent thefts in the Three Notch Street area from residences when they observed two unknown individuals in the parking lot of a convenience store at the corner of North Three Notch and Orange Streets. The detectives conducted field interviews to obtain the individuals identities.

TROY—Troy University Criminal Justice professor Bobby Moore ran into a few snags when he was working on his dissertation on the legal issues of computer-related crime.

Not only was cybercrime a subject with limited information in the year 2000, but much of the information out there was written for the already tech-savvy audience.

Moore decided to change that with the recent publication of his own textbook—Cyber Crime: Investigating High-Tech Computer Crime.

“I wrote it more or less for individuals who have little or no knowledge of computers,” Moore said. “In my experience with law enforcement, some have experience with computers, but some have none. My goal was to write something introductory on the topic for people who don’t have that knowledge.”

Moore’s text is used by universities across the county, such as Louisiana, Texas and New York.
