Mission of the Criminal Justice Student Association

The Criminal Justice Student Association is an organization open to all GSU students who are interested in pursuing a career in criminal justice. It is our mission to facilitate networking and career building activities in order to create a more cohesive and professional student criminal justice community. We seek to provide forums that focuses on the interaction between students, faculty, program alumni, professionals employed in the field, and members of the broader community. We are committed to developing networks with future criminal justice employers, the GSU Student Government Association, and faculty members in the Criminal Justice Department. Membership brings students and the community together to promote awareness of criminal justice issues in society. Being a member of the CJSA is a great way to get involved on campus and in the Atlanta community, to help develop team building and leadership skills, and to meet other individuals interested in criminal justice issues.

Future Goals of the Organization

We are always looking to provide greater access to individuals who can answer questions, provide insight, or provide direction to students. Currently, we are exploring the requirements necessary to establish chapters of the American Criminal Justice Association Lambda Alpha Epsilon and the Alpha Phi Sigma National Criminal Justice Honor Society. By joining these national organizations, we can greatly expand our networking capabilities and enhance the recognition of our CJSA.

News and Announcements

We are diligently working to provide another year of quality programming. Currently, we are in the process of scheduling several guest speakers. We will also be hosting a number of community service events with community groups, like Hands on Atlanta, Youth Connections, and Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, we are seeking individuals to help arrange the Criminal Justice Job Fair during the Spring Semester.
