2023 Career Day Booth Reservation

$100.00

Franciscan University invites you to participate in our 2023 Career Day for Criminal Justice on September 29th, 2023. This event will build on previous career days held in 2022.

Recruiting at Franciscan makes sense for many reasons. Our students are remarkably concerned about doing well in the world as well as making a difference for others. Criminal Justice at Franciscan is what we call faith in action- a reality all justice professionals carry out each day. And given this endless service to others and our communities, CRJ and the entire Franciscan community not only welcomes your presence but honors the sacrifices made on our behalf. Franciscan is a place where your values align with our mission and purpose.

We could not be prouder of our students, and we believe they are destined for productive professional lives and, even more critically, lives that give and care for others.
