Staff from Richland College, El Centro College and Eastfield College will be attending the annual Criminal Justice Career Day at UNT Dallas on November 3 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The colleges will be on-site to speak with more than 900 prospective high school juniors and seniors interested in studying criminal justice. This event is a great opportunity for students to learn more about the criminal justice program at Richland and other community colleges; meet representatives from local, state, federal and private criminal justice agencies from around North Texas; learn about opportunities available at local agencies; and discover what it’s like to work in criminal justice firsthand. Please pass this along to any students who may be interested! Students can register for this free event by clicking on this link: https://unt.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eu6k8J3nE3bFviR
