Student Accomplishments - 2000 - 2005
Student Professional Development
The Criminal Justice faculty possesses a diverse cadre of professionals from the various occupations within the justice system. By combining this resource for advising with our cohort advising system, Student Assistance Center , and career advising guides, we have constructed a very strong base for career advising. In addition, we offer numerous internships in a variety of criminal justice agencies, with about 80 students participating each semester. We coordinate and supervise all internships through one designated internship coordinator. We also expose students to practitioners in a variety of other ways. Our two student organizations, Alpha Phi Sigma and LAE Lambda Alpha Epsilon both feature multiple speakers from various agencies as do numerous faculty members. In addition, LAE sponsors a criminal justice career fair every fall. In the past, this event has drawn agencies from as far away as Arizona and Washington . In the spring, the Division and APS sponsor a mixer for juniors and seniors to meet representatives from local justice agencies in an informal setting.
During the past two years, the Division has taken the lead for the entire University in advising and assisting pre-law students. With multiple licensed attorneys in our faculty, we are uniquely suited to this role. Professor Kubicek, in particular, with support from other faculty and staff has made great strides in this are by scheduling practice LSAT exams, law school career days, workshops on law school application, practice interviews, career panels and direct liaison with local law schools.
