The Advising
committee is designed to assist criminology students by giving advice that may
be needed. Some examples might be what classes to take, what professors to take, or
any other concerns related to classes. Chair: Brian Allridge The Alumni Committee
is responsible for researching where past graduates of IUP went. They use this list
to invite Alumni to events that the Association is having. Chair: Craig Johnson The
Career Fair committee is responsible for preparing our career fair.
Each spring semester, the Association hosts a career fair where perspective employers from local,
state, and federal governments come to give information about themselves. Students
are able to make face to face contact, ask questions, and sometimes fill out applications
for future jobs or internships. This is a great opportunity for Juniors and
especially graduating seniors to find a job. Co-Chairs: Scott Cariss and Colleen McCauley-Cook The Community Service committee arranges for activities for Association members to participate in. Since each member must participate in a community service project each semester to be active, members are usually
busy. Some prior events include painting windows during the holidays at local nursing homes, the MS Walk, Special Olympics, Adopt-a-Highway, and many more. Chair: Jack Linderman The Fundraising committee is the money making backbone of our association. It's responsible for organizing fund raisers in order for us to offer events such as guest speakers and tours. Prior fund raisers include car washes, raffle ticket sales, t-shirt and sweat shirt sales, and more. Co-Chairs: Dennis Gill and Aaron Hivak The Guest Speaker committee's responsibilities include arranging for people to come and speak to students. Previous guest speakers sponsored by the Association include speakers from the FBI, PA Liquor Control, and even John Walsh of America's Most Wanted. Chair: Amanda
Grecko The Newsletter Committee creates a monthly newsletter that keeps the members of the Association informed of up
coming events, office hours, faculty spotlights, and other interesting features. Click the Clock to see
office hours! Co-Chairs: Chris Schutte and Jon McLister The Publicity Committee is responsible for advertising upcoming Association events. This includes hanging signs, chalking campus sidewalks, and writing announcements on classroom chalkboards. Chair: Mike Fetting The Scholarship
Committee is responsible for handling the scholarship given by the Association every year.
They also have the difficult task of selecting a winner from the group of well qualified applicants. Information on the scholarship
is available for review. Chair: Stephanie Jones and Becky Williams The Social Committee is here to provide Association members with a chance
to get out and have fun outside the academic setting. They are responsible for the
end of the year banquet. Additional activities include Halloween parties, bowling,
paintball, and more. Chair: Ed Clark
The Tour Committee sets up tours around the area for Association members to get a hands-on
experience in the criminal justice field. Also, a larger out of state tour is
conducted every year. The Tour committee plans this very large undertaking.
The Association has had overnight and two day trips to the FBI Academy at Quantico, VA and
to Washington D.C. for a conference. Other smaller tours include trips to Shuman
Center, Laretto Federal Prison, Allegheny County Courthouse, Eastern State Penitentiary, and
others. Chairs: James Ziegenfus
The
Webpage committee is responsible for designing and maintaining the Association's webpage.
