Established in 2015, the Justice Studies Task Force (JSTF) has been dedicated to bringing together law enforcement and criminal justice professionals from across the nation, representing a wide range of agencies and organizations, to participate in informative panel discussions that provide valuable insights and perspectives to students. Every semester, the JSTF organizes a themed panel event that delves into various aspects of the criminal justice system, showcasing the diverse career paths and opportunities available within the field.

Over the years, we have explored an array of topics through our panel discussions, including Probation, Law and Order, Policing, Federal Law Enforcement, After the Crime, and Critters in Criminal Justice. These events offer students an exclusive opportunity to not only learn from seasoned professionals but also engage in meaningful conversations that deepen their understanding of the complex world of criminal justice.

The panel discussions serve as an essential platform for students to ask questions, seek advice, and discuss real-world issues with experienced professionals. Moreover, these events facilitate valuable networking opportunities, allowing students to connect with potential employers or explore internship possibilities within various criminal justice organizations.

By participating in these panel events, students gain an in-depth understanding of the criminal justice landscape, the roles and responsibilities of various professionals, and the challenges faced by those working in the field. This exposure enables students to make informed decisions about their career paths and better prepare themselves for future opportunities in the world of criminal justice.

We take great pride in hosting these panel discussions and remain committed to fostering a supportive and enriching environment for our students as they embark on their criminal justice careers. Stay tuned for information on our upcoming panel events and join us in exploring the multifaceted realm of criminal justice!
