The students of the Gannon University Zeta Phi chapter of APS have participated in various conferences. A few students went to San Diego, California for the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS) conference (2010), Bristol, Rhode Island for the NEACJS conference (June 2008) and a few went to Seattle, Washington (March 2007) to actively participate in the APS annual leadership conference. Not only did the students enjoy the conference, but they also attended panel presentations, met some prominent criminal justice professors and practitioners, and took in the beautiful city.
In addition, students have also toured the Erie County Coroner’s Office, toured and had an inmate discussion at SCI-Cambridge Springs, and heard presentations from U.S. Marshals, DEA, ATF agents. Service projects participated in include: Child Identification program (CHIP), Safe Net, Relay for Life; Day of Caring; and Supervision of the Education Room at Christmas Dinner.
