Sgt. Daniel Dale Green Scholarship
On November 13, 2002, 13-year veteran of the Tallahassee Police Department, husband, and father of three, Dale Green was slain in the line of duty while responding to a home invasion robbery. Dale's family, friends, and colleagues have come together to create this scholarship to commemorate his life, service, and sacrifice.
The first annual Sgt. Daniel Dale Green Memorial Weekend was held November 12th-13th, with a 5K, Poker Run and Car Show to benefit the Sgt. Daniel Dale Green Memorial Scholarship.
Eppes Building
Eppes is a fitting home for the highest ranked academic program on campus, as well as the nation’s number one Criminology program. Sitting cattycorner from the Wescott Administration Building atop Gallows Hill, Eppes shares both the commemorative brick plaza and the Mina Jo Powell Alumni Green with the University’s most recognizable landmark.
The College of Criminology & Criminal Justice was granted the honor of sole possession of the Eppes building by President Eric Barron in recognition for its number one ranking and increased need for student and faculty spaces.
Graduate Students
Funding graduate students allows them to focus on their research and education from the #1 program in the nation!
Over half of the graduate students at the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice receive funding. Christi Falco (left) has received assistantships as a teaching assistant, a co-coordinator of the Study Abroad Israel program and currently as the internship coordinator.
Internship Program
Alumni regularly tell us that their internships were the most rewarding experience they had at FSU! The internship program gives students work experience that counts as academic credit. For the designated semester, students work 40 hours per week for a criminology or criminal justice affiliated agency and complete academic requirements outlined in the orientation session. Students gain valuable experience and develop professional relationships with potential employers.
The College of Criminology and Criminal Justice recently held an Internship Expo to expose students to our local internship opportunities. Representatives from the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Corrections, Department of Juvenile Justice, Florida Supreme Court, Leon County Sheriff's Office, Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy, Public Defender's Office, State Attorney's Office, Wakulla County Probation and Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission attended.
Lambda Alpha Epsilon
Lambda Alpha Epsilon(LAE) is a professional criminal justice organization that allows students to network with professionals in their field and other students in their area of study.
The Lambda chapter at FSU engages speakers to encourage students to learn about careers in criminal justice careers from those occupying now.
By emphasizing marksmanship, investigative skills, community service, and physical agility, LAE helps to ensure that FSU will continue to provide the best and brightest to the field.
MORE (Mentors Offering Real-World Education)
Criminology's new mentorship program helps give women the edge in a male-dominated field. Alumni empower the next generation of female leaders to change the role of women in the workplace.
