CSC criminal justice students take tour
Members of the Chadron State College honors class, Advanced Criminal Justice and Legal Research, recently spent two days looking at graduate programs at educational institutions on Lincoln and Omaha. Stops in Lincoln included the University of Nebraska College of Law and Nebraska Wesleyan University, where the CSC group visited the graduate program in forensic sciences.
Several Chadron State graduates who are attending the UNL law school participated in the activities in Lincoln. They include Kari Daily of Hershey, Angela Roberts of Sidney, Darren Wright of Albion and Anthony Ybarra of Gering. Another participant was Amanda Spracklen of Douglas, Wyo., a CSC graduate who attends law school at the University of Wyoming.
The dean of the law school, Stephen Willborn, met with the students, who also attended a freshman class on property law.
In addition, the Chadron State students had lunch with Jon Bruning, the Nebraska attorney general. Bruning outlined the responsibilities of his office, discussed at least 10 current cases it is involved with and talked about careers in law.
During the second day of the field trip, the group visited the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where the graduate program in criminal justice is ranked among the top 10 in the nation. Each May for approximately 20 years, students from Chadron State and UNO have traveled together to London to study the law enforcement and corrections systems and facilities in Great Britain.
The CSC students on the trip were Seth Alberts, Palisade; Joel Christiansen, Kimball; Tony Essay, Alliance; Amanda Halderman, Custer, S.D.; Erin Legerski, Rock Springs, Wyo.; Jeri Loomis, Hyannis; Michele Meissner, Mountain View, Wyo.; Heather Messmer, Sturgis, S.D.; Lindsey Sakos and Jason Thomas, Rapid City, S.D.; Jack Sides, Hot Springs, S.D.; Abbey Slagle, Sargent; and Corey Wasserburger, Fort Worth, Texas.
They were accompanied by two of the criminal justice professors at CSC, Dr. George Watson and Dr. Tracy Nobiling.
