Dr. Aaron Roussell received the Outstanding Faculty Mentor award, and Dr. David Makin received the Greg & Beth Pierce Faculty Award in Criminal Justice & Criminology.

Brandon Bang received an award for being the Outstanding Criminal Justice Graduate Student Instructor, Alex Kigerl was named Outstanding Doctoral Student, and Wesley McCann received the Outstanding Masters Student award. As mentioned in the last edition of the newsletter, Michael Campagna received the ACJS International Section Graduate Student Paper award.

Some of our undergraduate students received awards. These ranged from the V.A. Leonard Scholarship, which went to Adam Roberts and Mikiya Stowe, to the Outstanding Graduating Senior, which went to Haley Scott.

Additionally, Dr. David Brody was recognized for his chairmanship from 2010-2014, and Dr. Craig Hemmens was recognized for his current chairmanship during the Chair Appreciation section of the ceremony.
