The Frank C. Kyle Memorial Scholarship
The Frank C. Kyle Memorial Scholarship was established to recognize the professionalism in Criminal Justice that embodied the character of Assistant Professor Frank Kyle, a deceased member of the
Northwestern
State
University
faculty.
Professor Fr ank Kyle brought to his students a real life perspective of Corrections through his 28 years as a noted professional practitioner in the Probation and Parole discipline. Professor Kyle’s professional career began in 1971 with the Louisiana Department of Corrections, Division of Probation and Parole. Professor Kyle progressed through the ranks from Probation/Parole Officer until his retirement in 1999 as the Regional Director of the Northwest Louisiana Probation and Parole Office. Throughout Professor Kyle’s career as a Probation/Parole Professional he was called upon repeatedly to serve on committees that reviewed and implemented improvements in Probation/Parole services for the State of
Louisiana
. Professor Kyle maintained his memberships in both national and state Probation/Parole organizations even after his service to the State of
Louisiana
ended.
After his retirement from active Probation/Parole service to the state, Frank Kyle felt that he had a wealth of knowledge accumulated over his 28-year career that could be utilized to help young people to understand the past, present, and future directions of the Corrections discipline within the Criminal Justice system. Frank Kyle readily accepted his second profession as an educator. Frank joined the faculty of
Northwestern
State
University
in
Natchitoches,
LA
and used his experience as a professional Corrections practitioner to enlighten his students from 1999 until 2004. Frank’s experience in Corrections was a refreshing addition to the academic learning process for students. Frank’s desire to provide real world experience to the educational experience of students and increase the understanding to those graduates who enter the world of professionalism within the Corrections disciplines is his legacy.
