Profile

My name is Terrance Hinton and I serve as an adjunct faculty member here at Franklin University. I am originally from Baton Rouge, LA where I resided for most of my life. I previously served as Program Manager of Reentry Services for the Alvis Community Reentry Center in Columbus, Ohio, which serves individuals who have been involved with the criminal justice system. I have also facilitated Anger Management and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy courses for our clients, developed structured recreational activities within our halfway house facilities, as well as consulting work for reintegration units within correctional facilities statewide. My hobbies include Exercising, Reading, Volunteering, and Researching. I also always enjoy going back home to Baton Rouge, LA to attend an LSU Football game or vacationing in Florida with my family.
