Career Connection Events in Sociology & Criminology

Career Workshops on resume building and interview techniques are offered in partnership with the Career Development Center.

Municipal & Federal Law Enforcement panel discussion.  Given the high number of departmental students interested in careers in law enforcement, we offer a discussion with a panel of law enforcement professionals each year—alternating between municipal and federal.  Many students follow up these initial contacts by becoming cadets with these organizations or applying to complete internships with them. 

Hosted Nov, 2019.  This event brought 24 women working in Victim Advocacy, Law Enforcement, the Court System, Corrections, Juvenile Justice, and organizations assisting fragile families.  These professionals provided career advice to over 60 students in a networking style event.

In the Spring of 2019, Victim Advocates came to speak with students, also through a panel-style discussion.  Representatives from the Barren River Area Safe Space, Hope Harbor, Bowling Green Police Department, and Lifeskills took questions from the audience after telling the story of their organization’s involvement with Victim Advocacy.

In the spring of 2018, students had the opportunity to hear about the diversity of jobs involving case management.  Representatives from non-profit organizations serving fragile families, our local mental and behavioral health organization Lifeskills, Court Designated Workers within the Juvenile Justice System, and officers with Probation and Parole.

In the fall of 2018, students had the opportunity to engage with experts from a variety of career fields which work with offenders re-entering the community after a period of institutionalization.  Speakers from the Warren County Jail, Probation & Parole, and Lifeskills explained their role in the process and the resources they provide.
