ANNOUNCEMENTS AND EVENTS
Stop and Serve Thursday, April 5, 10:30am - 3:00pm Location: North Classroom Atrium Stop & Serve is a once a month, on-campus service event. Stop & Serve has a two-fold purpose. First, is to provide an opportunity for students to fit volunteering into their busy schedules, while on-campus. Secondly, provide information about organizations that they can volunteer with and other ways to get involved in the community. We provide all the materials for 3-4 different service projects that students can stop and work on throughout the day, in addition to information about the organization and where the projects are going. We also invite nonprofits to have a table at the event to promote volunteer opportunities available to students.
Criminal Justice/Alpha Phi Sigma Film Night Thursday, April 5, 6:00pm - 8:00pm Location: School of Public Affairs Classroom 500 Film: When Kids Get Life “The United States is one of the only countries in the world that allows children under 18 to be sentenced to life without parole.” Jacob Ind was convicted of murdering his mother and stepfather when he was 15. When they were in high school, Nathan Ybanez and Erik Jensen were found guilty of the murder of Nathan’s mother. As a juvenile, Trevor Jones was convicted of armed robbery and murder. An attempted carjacking gone horribly wrong led to the conviction of Andrew Medina for felony murder. For their crimes, these juveniles were sentenced to life in prison. Produced by Frontline and filmed in Colorado, the profiles of these five individuals are discussed. For more information about the film, go to: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/whenkidsgetlife/
The film is 90 minutes long. Students are encouraged to stay after the film for discussion. Snacks will be provided!
