Student Organizations are an integral part of campus life and one of the best opportunities for students to learn outside of the classroom.
Students in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice are provided with opportunities to gain experiences and knowledge from the classroom with the everyday experience of living and working in a society with people of varied cultures, interests, ideas and values.
