ZumbaThon Benefits
Clinton County Women's Center

  An evening of dance, fitness, and fun was co-sponsored by Lock Haven University’s own Criminal Justice Honors Society (Alpha Phi Sigma) and the Professional Business Fraternity (Alpha Kappa Psi) in a ZumbaThon event on February 20, 2013. The students planned and coordinated the event raising money to help others. Licensed Zumba instructors from Lock Haven University lead the event: Mallory Conti, Recreation Management Major; Meghan Dashe, Communication Major; Dr. Cori Myers, Associate Professor of Management; and Dr. Katie Pantaleo, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice. The proceeds were donated to the Clinton County Women’s Center on April 3rd.

The center assists victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.  They provide 24-hour free and confidential hotline services, options counseling, legal advocacy, referral information, support groups and more.  Their goal is to eliminate domestic violence in Clinton County.

 

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. Ronald Fennell sponsored the effort, as advisor, to found the Iota Sigma chapter at Lock Haven. Dr. Tamson Six took over as club advisor in spring 2009. 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 spring 2011, 52 students and 1 faculty have been inducted into our local chapter.

The Lock Haven Criminal Justice Honor Society is very active. As they continue to grow, some of their on-campus activities include, but are not limited to: the East Campus planting project, meet-n-greet and midterm social, window display at Stevenson Library, meet with exploratory studies students, sponsor class speakers, and they conduct a student writing lab (which they developed and implemented to aid in the development of peer writing skills). They have also conducted the Criminal Justice 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 for the Criminal Justice major, explain what an internship entails, and explain what Criminal Justice organizations exist on campus.

Some of the club's off-campus activities include: the Adopt-A-Family Program, local park paint & clean-up project, Easter egg hunt at Hoberman Park, and a local food drive.

Anyone eligible to join the club, meeting all the requirements, will be sent an email to see if they are interested.

If you have any questions concerning the club, please contact any of our officers.

Andrew McGee

 Meet:  Andrew McGee from Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Andrew McGee is a Lock Haven University senior majoring in Criminal Justice with a Sociology Minor. He is treasurer of Alpha Phi Sigma National Honor Society and a founding member of the Criminal Justice Advisory Board. He is also a member of the LHU Golf Club and Phi Kappa Phi.

because they are very helpful in figuring out what you want to do
