The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville College of Arts and Sciences’ Criminal Justice Studies program and the Criminal Justice Club will co-sponsor a Criminal Justice Career Fair from 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Thursday, April 18 in the Morris University Center’s Goshen Lounge.
The Criminal Justice Career Fair will feature more than 35 agencies representing law enforcement, corrections, probation, treatment services, victim services and private security. Federal, state and local levels will be represented for both Illinois and Missouri.
“The opportunity to have this number of criminal justice agencies together is valuable for our campus community to discuss potential career paths, and it’s also valuable to the agencies to have access to our talented and interested student body,” said Ann Dirks-Linhorst, PhD, JD, professor in the criminal justice studies program.
“It is vitally important for our students to have an understanding of the variety of criminal justice career opportunities available to them,” she added. “The justice system is a critical function of society, and requires excellent candidates. We are extremely pleased with the interest shown not only by our students, but also evidenced by participating agencies.”
