BSU Criminal Justice Students Awarded Top Honors at National Conference

Boise State University Criminal Justice honor society students received several national awards at the recent Alpha Phi Sigma national conference held March 12-14 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Suzann Lathrop (Boise), an M.A. student, won the Regina B. Shearn scholarship in the graduate division. Also receiving high honors were undergraduate Jonathan Bolen (Boise) and graduate student Jon Cooper (Kemmerer, Wyo.), who were named top criminal justice undergraduate and graduate students in criminal justice, respectively, after taking rigorous general knowledge examinations.

Boise State also took home two national chapter awards— one for best articulation of chapter activities throughout the year, and the other for most significant community service activity: the chapter’s school supply project with Big Brothers and Big Sisters last summer.

Boise State’s Alpha Phi Sigma chapter is one of 362 chapters nationwide. Six chapter members attended the national conference in Cincinnati. For more information, contact Andrew Giacomazzi, Criminal Justice Department chair and Alpha Phi Sigma chapter adviser, at 426-4162.
