The Criminal Justice Club’s fundamental mission is to invite any students at Eastern Illinois University (EIU) with an interest in Criminology and Criminal Justice, regardless of their major, to belong to an organization that will stimulate high academic expectations, personal achievement, and thoughtful engagement on the EIU campus and in the community.
We strive to promote a positive academic attitude and provide an atmosphere conducive to learning and growth by emphasizing the critical importance of scholarship and good study habits, encouraging intellectual, personal, and social development, and creating a welcoming environment of diversity where students from various backgrounds and experiences are invited to participate and connect with their peers. As a member of the Criminal Justice Club, you will also get to apply the concepts you learn by actively working in collaboration with students, faculty, and other concerned individuals or organizations, both on EIU’s campus and in the greater community, as well as with elected and appointed officials toward the successful implementation of program goals.
