The Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice hosted an “Opportunities Fair” with 25 agencies looking for employees, volunteers and interns at “Inside the Criminal Justice System: Characteristics, Challenges and Opportunities” – The 7th Annual Missouri State University Criminology and Criminal Justice Conference in April 2015 in Plaster Student Union. Students were able to make important contacts, sign up for educational opportunities, and begin to search for potential career paths through the “Opportunities Fair.” Among the represented agencies were Springfield Police Department, the U. S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) and Greene County Juvenile Office. Another “Opportunities Fair” will be included in the upcoming 8th Annual Missouri State University Criminology and Criminal Justice Conference in April 2016. To register for a table at the event or learn more about it, please contact the conference coordinator, Ivy Yarckow-Brown at Yarckow-Brown@MissouriState.edu.
