SIUE’s Criminal Justice Career Fair Slated for April 14
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Department of Criminal Justice Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences will host its 2022 Criminal Justice Career Fair from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, April 14 in the Morris University Center’s Goshen Lounge. The original scheduled date in February was postponed due to inclement weather.
“The Department of Criminal Justice Studies is excited to hold the career fair in person this year,” said Rachel Cousert, instructor in the Department of Criminal Justice Studies. “Being able to directly connect students with agencies is beneficial to both. Agencies are able to specifically recruit and inform students about their various positions, and students have the opportunity to build community relationships and refine their future career goals."
There will be more than 35 agencies attending the career fair, representing a number of criminal justice related career paths including legal, juvenile services, corrections, law enforcement, victim services and graduate study.
Some of the attending agencies are the U.S. Marshals, Homeland Security, the Metro East Forensic Lab, Missouri Highway Patrol, Illinois State Police, SLU and SIU Law Schools, and more.
“What is great about the criminal justice career fair is that students of any major/minor can find an agency that needs their area of expertise,” Cousert said. “Psychology, business, sociology, social work, computer science, forensics, education or nursing to name a few, and all are welcome to attend!”
This is event is open to students in any major and is sponsored by the Department of Criminal Justice Studies and the Criminal Justice Club.
