About the UAA Justice Club

What is the UAA Justice Club?

We are a University-sponsored club formed to bring together students interested in the Justice field. We meet each month to exchange information on relevant Justice topics, hear guest speakers, travel on field trips to Justice facilities, and to act as a support and social network for students and faculty in the UAA Justice program.

Who can be a member of the Justice Club?

The Club is open to all students who are in good academic standing with UAA, regardless of their major.

What are some of the Club's past activities?

Our guest speakers have included attorneys, police officers, mediators, private consultants, probation officers, abuse counselors, and others locally involved in the Justice field. The Club has viewed new videos and sponsored tours of several prisons, the State Crime Lab, the Anchorage jail, the Anchorage FBI office, the Anchorage courthouse on 4th Avenue, McLaughlin Youth Center, and other facilities. We've also held picnics and parties for both students and faculty. Several times the Justice Club has sent members to annual meetings of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences.

What does the Club hope to do in the future?

We intend to continue our program of guest speakers, tours, and social events. But besides just more of the same, we also hope to expand our membership in other majors and disciplines, as well as those Justice students at UAA's extended campuses. In short, we hope to grow.

Okay, what does it cost to join?

Membership in the Club is $5.00 per semester or $8.00 for a full academic year. The Justice Club application form is available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. It can be filled out online and printed out.
