The Criminology and Criminal Justice Annual Career Conference is envisioned as a place for students to learn more about career opportunities through industry-specific panels and interactive sessions with a diverse group of alumni and industry professionals who share their experiences from many different career paths. Each year our goal is to help guide students in answering their questions of what can I do with my degree? And/or how do I get to my career goal?
