Introduction CJO
Topics of Discussion • The organization was designed with four factors in mind: • A social element • An educational element • A service component • A support component • Anyone interested is encouraged to join CJO
Topic One: A Social Element • The CJO was developed to provide a forum for those students with common interests in criminal justice. This could include such things as: Pizza parties, movies, casual “get together’s,” etc. CJO
Topic Two: Educational Element • Educationally, the CJO is a key instrument in helping with career decisions and academics • The CJO works towards bringing speakers to the campus who are working as a professional in some area of criminal justice • The criminal justice program also has an active Mock Trail Team and Mediation Team CJO
Topic Three: A Service Component • The CJO was designed with a service component in mind. This is intended to allow students to work within the community and represent, not only themselves and the CJO, but, Penn State Altoona as well • This is done by coordinated volunteer work in the nearby communities CJO
Topic Four: A support Element • Members of the CJO are willing to lend a helping hand to fellow students who are having problems with their academics • This comes about in the form of mentoring CJO
