Student Activities

Sociology and Criminal Justice Club

The Sociology and Criminal Justice Club exists to further the academic and career development of any student, that also includes just getting together and having a good time on occasion.  We sponsor social activities, guest speakers, field trips, conference trips and much, much more.  We also provide a forum in which students can exchange information on courses, job prospects, and the like. To join, contact one of the officers or the faculty advisor ($5 annual fee).
