Criminal Justice
Club
By MITCHELL
PHILLIPS and MICHAEL
HALL
The 15-20 of the Justice
Club, established in 2000,
meet monthly under the
leadership of Jennifer
Worrell, president; Melissa
Seaberry, vice-president;
Kathy Bass, secretary;
Shalonds Stubbs, treasurer;
and co-advisers Dwight
Morrisey and Duane
Everhart, instructors in the
Criminal justice Technology
program from which
students earn the associate in
applied science degree.
Dues are $12 a semester.
Activities club members
are involved in include a
drawing for a Thanksgiving
basket, the maintenance of a
portion of Wayne Memorial
Drive through the adopt-a-
Highway Program,
assistance with WCC’s golf
tournament and Basic Law
Enforcement Training
graduation, and the sale of
shopping tickets at Belk’s to
benefit the student
scholarship program of the
Foundation of WCC.
A major project at the start
of the semester centered on
the Day of Caring and
Remembrance. Criminal
Justice club members
collected more than 300
items to distribute to the
American Red Cross, The
Lighthouse, and to the Boys
and Girls Club of Mount
Olive. In addition, members
presented a program about
trespassing and basic safety
to the children. In
conjunction with the
observance in downtown
Goldsboro, club members .
served as information
specialists. Earlier in the
summer they helped with
groundbreaking ceremonies
for the new childcare center
at WCC on Aug 2.
Fund-raisers helped to
send an advisor, a member
and an officer to the
Southern Criminal Justice
Association meeting in
Clearwater, Fla., on Sept 25.
Participants attended
workshops and seminars
about issues in the criminal
justice field.
Co-op thrives
for 20 years
By ANNIE HUDSON and
LISA M. LEE
Cooperative Education is an
academic program designed to
give the student valuable work
experience while still attending
college.
Students blend classroom
theories into practice as they
spend lor more semesters in a
company or organization related
to their area of study or career
goals.
Students have to complete one
semester before taking co-op,
said Anne Millington, Director of
Cooperative Programs.
While 25 technology
programs participate in the Co-op
program, only 12 require it for
graduation: Agribusiness,
Automotive Systems, Business
Administration/Marketing and
Retailing, Early Childhood
Associate, Healthcare
Management Human Service, /
Substance Abuse, Livestock and
Poultry, Livestock and Poultry
/Poultry Management, Park
Ranger, Turf grass Management,
and Welding.
Benefits for students in Job
Co-op is that it offers hands-on
work experience, creates
financial earnings, adds relevance
to classroom instruction, earns
academic credit, increases
marketability upon graduation,
and advances maturity and skills
in human relations, Millington
said.
Employers provide cost-
effective recruitment and training
to regularly available skilled and
semi-skilled students. It also
provides an excellent source of
temporary and potential
permanent employees and fi*ees
high-salaried professionals fi*om
time-consuming but essential
tasks.
Co-op allows faculty to keep
abreast of the latest developments
and innovations in the various
fields.
Millington said there is a
higher graduation rate for co-op
students statewide. Some
program participating businesses
offer students full-time
employment after graduation.
