On October 2, 2019, the Central Piedmont Community College - Criminal Justice Technology department hosted a "Town Hall" style question and answer session with Arizona Appellate Court Judge Samuel Thumma. Program Chair Jeri Guido and Instructor Anne Marie Garmon welcomed the judge to the Levine campus and Adjunct Faculty member Sean Quarmby moderated the event. Students from CPCC and UNCC were in attendance and asked the judge several intuitive questions regarding law enforcement, juvenile justice, probation and parole, and the law in general. The students would later be commended by the judge for their thoughtful questions. One student asked a question relating to one of Judge Thumma's written opinions. It was evident the judge was quite pleased and impressed with this student. Program Chair Guido commended all of the students for their participation and attentiveness during the session. The CPCC Criminal Justice Technology department is planning on hosting similar events in the future.
