Criminal Justice News Letter
Dear Friends, Students, and Colleagues:
This is the latest edition of the Evangel Criminal Justice Online Newsletter. Much has occurred since our last newsletter that I want to share with you.
We moved into our new offices last summer. We are very blessed in that our offices are located on the third floor of the new building facing south which overlooks the entire campus. Several of the barracks have been removed creating a wonderful park-like area in the center of campus.

Graduates:
If you have not sent Bob Cirtin a business card and shirt patch (if you are employed in a position that requires a uniform) please send them so we can post it in our display case. Even if you are in a position that is not in the criminal justice field, we want to display your business card.
