Ming Lang Hii

Dr. Ming Lang Hii serves as a Part-time Lecturer in Mercer University's College of Professional Advancement, Department of Human Services and Psychology. Promoted from adjunct faculty in 2021 after six years of service, she bridges extensive clinical experience with academic instruction.

• MS in Psychology, Georgia Regents University (2012)
• BS in Psychology, Georgia State University (2010)

Dr. Hii's expertise converges at the intersection of forensic psychology and organizational dynamics. Her scholarship on training methods and virtual team connectivity stems from direct clinical experience with severe mental disorders in forensic settings. This practical orientation permeates her teaching philosophy, particularly evident in courses addressing psychopathy, criminal behavior systems, and crisis intervention methodologies.

She actively contributes to pedagogical innovation as demonstrated by her 2024 CoPA Faculty Showcase presentation on online course design. While specific grant details aren't public, her focus on competency evaluations and organizational training reflects applied research priorities. Students engage with her through 13 diverse courses spanning forensic behavior, gender psychology, and capstone research, with accessibility maintained via standard university communication channels.
