Wayne State's Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice hosted its annual career fair on Apr. 17, boasting an impressive turnout with over 302 attendees and 40 recruiters offering a spectrum of opportunities, from full-time positions to internships and co-ops.

Both students and recruiters shared glaring insights about this year's conference. Aligning with our President Espy's vision of fostering a "College to Career" pathway for students, the criminology and criminal justice department is committed to ensuring Wayne State's graduates enter the workforce well-prepared and equipped for success. This institutional endeavor aims to drive progress and bolster initiatives that cultivate career readiness among students.
