CRIMINAL JUSTICE CLUB
The Criminal Justice Club’s fundamental mission is to invite any students at Eastern Illinois University (EIU) with an interest in Criminology and Criminal Justice, regardless of their major, to belong to an organization that will stimulate high academic expectations, personal achievement, and thoughtful engagement on the EIU campus and in the community.
We strive to promote a positive academic attitude and provide an atmosphere conducive to learning and growth by emphasizing the critical importance of scholarship and good study habits, encouraging intellectual, personal, and social development, and creating a welcoming environment of diversity where students from various backgrounds and experiences are invited to participate and connect with their peers. As a member of the Criminal Justice Club, you will also get to apply the concepts you learn by actively working in collaboration with students, faculty, and other concerned individuals or organizations, both on EIU’s campus and in the greater community, as well as with elected and appointed officials toward the successful implementation of program goals.
In the Criminal Justice Club, you can expect to learn and develop good citizenship by participating in such hands-on opportunities as:
- Learning about a variety of police procedures and law enforcement from guest speakers.
- Attending demonstrations of police activities.
- Visiting prisons, jails, dispatch centers, and local police departments.
- Building contacts and connections for the future.
The Criminal Justice Club meets monthly in Blair Hall during the fall and spring semesters. For more information about the Criminal Justice Club, contact one of the Faculty Advisors below.
