The Criminal Justice Club is supported with a budget from the
Student Cooperative Council. The club engages in a variety of
activities each semester. Activities are selected and led by
the student members. Examples are: sponsor of guest
speakers on campus, field trips to sites of interest to criminal
justice majors (examples include: the FBI Academy in Quantico,
Virginia, the Police Museum in New York City, and a
Washington, DC site visit). Recently,
the Clearfield club, the Alpha Kappa Omega Chapter of the American
Criminal Justice Association, took a trip to Riker’s Island in New York.
The club also engages in fund raisers periodically and the
membership serves as resources to prospective students to answer
major related questions.
Club membership and involvement is a good way to engage in
meaningful experiences that allow students to explore a variety
of criminal justice disciplines.
Meetings are held at least
twice a month.

2009 Press Release - In the spring of 2009, Lock
Haven University’s Clearfield Campus Criminal Justice Club, Alpha
Kappa Omega, was formally awarded a chapter into the American
Criminal Justice Association’s Lambda Alpha Epsilon (LAE). Focusing
on community, campus, and departmental service, Alpha Kappa Omega
has been involved in activities including the Clearfield Rotary
Club’s Election Day Pancake Dinner, fish stocking with the
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and New Student Orientation
Day.
In addition to helping others through service, the group is actively
scheduling field trips, fund raising, and selecting an individual
for the Outstanding Criminal Justice Student Award. Under the
direction of Dr. Michael J. McSkimming, criminal justice professor,
future plans include visiting Houtzdale Prison, assisting in the
Clearfield and Curwensville Rotary Club Golf Outing, raising money
for Haiti Relief, and participating in the Adopt-A-Highway program.
Currently, there are 22 active members of the Clearfield Campus
Criminal Justice Club.
Dr. Marianne Hazel, Clearfield Campus Interim Dean, commented, “The
students and Dr. McSkimming are certainly making a difference on our
campus and in our surrounding areas. We are certainly honored to be
recognized as part of a national chapter, and are hoping that our
club continues to grow.” For more information regarding the

Alpha Phi Sigma
(National Honor Society in
Criminal Justice)
In fall 2007, Lock Haven University established a local chapter of
Alpha Phi Sigma, the National Criminal Justice Honor Society. Our
local chapter is known as Iota Sigma. Dr. Fennell sponsored the
effort, as advisor, to found the Iota Sigma chapter at Lock Haven.
The national headquarters is located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Students belonging to this club must have a grade point average of
3.2 or higher, must be in the top 35% of the class, must have
completed three semesters at LHU, and must have completed four
required courses of criminal Justice classes declared as a Criminal
Justice major, minor, or Law field leading to a baccalaureate or
graduate degree. As of fall 2009, 36 students have been inducted
into the Criminal Justice Honor’s Club.
The Lock Haven Criminal Justice Honor Society is very active.
In 2009 they sponsored an Adopt-A-Family for Christmas. They have also conducted the CJ
Pre-advising Program for freshmen and some sophomores to answer
questions regarding minors, how to access online degree audit, how
to register for classes, explain the degree requirements are for the
Criminal Justice major, what an internship entails, and what
Criminal Justice organizations exist on campus. A “Meet and Greet”
is held for new members. Anyone eligible to join the club, meeting
all the requirements, will be sent an email to see if they are
interested.
