Justin Campbell and Laila Horton, students in the Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice, attended an academic conference through a sponsorship from professionals in the criminal justice field.

They attended the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Conference and the Alpha Phi Sigma annual meeting in Chicago. It was an opportunity to learn, network and build connections in the field of criminal justice.

The students hosted a discussion where they shared their insights on how they revitalized the Alpha Phi Sigma chapter at NSU.

The trip was made possible by a donation from the Broward County Chiefs of Police Association Foundation. The conference was a first for Horton and Campbell. Associate Professor Grace Telesco accompanied the students. Telesco also spoke during the conference on the preliminary findings of her study on the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
