AFFILIATE PROGRAM GROUP

Objective: The Crime, Law, and Justice Affiliate Program Group (APG) is chartered by the College of the Liberal Arts Alumni Society under the Auspices of the Penn State Alumni Association and focuses on the networking of alumni and professionals working in the criminal justice system and related fields. The group serves as a resource for the Sociology Department and the CLJ program, and the department has input on and final approval of all activities and programs of the APG.

The purpose of the Crime, Law, and Justice APG is to:

Inform students about the career possibilities in criminal justice and criminology, and prepare them for the professional challenges they will face in the field.

Ensure that students in the program are informed about the current and ongoing issues in the criminal justice and criminology field from the practical prospective of the members.

Ensure that students in the program have the skills and knowledge base they need to be successful in the work place.

Maintain mentoring relationships with current students.

Work with student organizations to establish beneficial programs, including alumni guest speakers and tours of agencies and other alumni worksites.

Provide and enhance student internship and career opportunities.

Provide opportunities for APG members to share ideas, network, and learn from each other about other areas of criminal justice, law and criminology.

Act as ambassadors for Crime, Law, and Justice, to the rest of the College of Liberal Arts and the University Community as a whole, so that they know that our alumni play important roles in the community.

Honor and award individuals for outstanding achievements through the Crime, Law, and Justice APG.

Facilitate the contribution of funds for academic scholarships and enrichment activities for students in the CLJ Program.
