Criminal Justice and Criminology

Our sincere thanks to those who gave to the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology on One Ball State Day 2024! Our goal this year is to double our number of donations and total amount given (we had 23 gifts last year at $1,658 total). Current students should not feel obligated to give. These funding goals are to help our department serve you!

One Ball State Day is a day for us to unite as alumni, friends, and supporters to show the world that we Cardinals fly together. Follow our social media to stay tuned on updates throughout the giving day.

Follow our progress! We've got some awesome events planned for OBSD that you don't want to miss!

 

This year, our goal is to support student needs, such as textbooks, tuition, and GRE/LSAT application fees.

Thanks to donor support, in 2024, we helped purchase textbooks for students in financial need, and we successfully achieved our goal of establishing a student travel fund by sending two undergraduates to regional and national conferences to present their research!

Additionally, we hope to use funds to invite guest speakers and hold additional educational events to take learning beyond the classroom. Lastly, many of our hard-working students qualify for membership to Alpha Phi Sigma, the only national Criminal Justice honor society, but membership fees can present a barrier. We hope to use donations to assist in off-setting the cost of students to reduce the financial burden of engaging with this excellent career-building organization.
