Criminal Justice Student Association

Pensacola — CJSA is a group of students on campus from all degree fields that share an interest in the criminal justice system. We hold monthly meetings, participate in events both on and off campus, perform community service, and go on trips to further expand our knowledge and experiences with the many facets of the American legal system. We also bring in guest speakers to give members an opportunity to learn about specific professions and ask questions to agents/officers from different agencies and areas of law. In short, if you intend to pursue a career in criminal justice or simply find the legal system interesting the CJSA is the group that can help you learn and achieve your goals. For further information please contact the faculty advisor.

Emerald Coast — The Emerald Coast Criminal Justice Student Organization provides students with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of criminal justice, prepare for a career through professional development, give back to the community, and build contacts in the criminal justice field through socializing and networking. The organization is open to all UWF students. Best of all, it doesn't cost anything to join! Our two primary events for the year are the spring career fair to be held at UWF Emerald Coast in Fort Walton Beach and participation in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Throughout the year, we collect used printer/toner cartridges and recycle them as a fundraiser for the Relay. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Kathrine Johnson.
