The mission of the Criminal Justice Society is to promote professional networking, scholarship awareness, and career opportunity availability and to provide recognition to outstanding academic achievers within the Criminal Justice Department.
By hosting frequent guest speakers and making field trips to different criminal justice agencies, CJS members have opportunities to observe and learn the practical aspects of performing various career responsibilities. CJS members are also encouraged to join professional organizations that promote their specific interests within the criminal justice field.
Membership in the Criminal Justice Society is available to all criminal justice majors and minors, as well as students in sociology, psychology, and other related disciplines. Criminal justice majors who are members of the CJS are eligible to apply for the annual Walt Frances Scholarship and one of two scholarships offered through the Lisa Marie Kimmell Memorial Scholarship fund.
