A Word from the Dean
of Criminal Justice

By PATRICIA
DROWN, Ph.D.

I recently had the privilege of participating in a conference call with law enforcement professionals from all over the nation. There were detectives from New Jersey, homicide detectives from Los Angeles, SWAT team leaders from Louisiana, an assistant district attorney, and a probation officer. [ more ]

26 Top Criminal Justice Scholars Noted for 2nd Quarter Academic Achievement

"A certificate does not make you certified. Attitude, performance, commitment to self and team—these and a certificate make you certified."
    —Author Unknown

By PATRICIA DROWN, Ph.D.
Dean of Criminal Justice, Allied American University

Certificates, diplomas and other things you can hang on the wall are nothing more than pieces of paper without a corresponding and deeply held "attitude, performance and commitment to self and team" (I would also add "and field of study and practice" to the list) on the part of the individual whose name appears on the document.

The 26 outstanding degree and certificate students appearing here have truly walked the "attitude, performance and commitment" talk this quarter, and I have every confidence that when their certificates and diplomas are finally up on the wall someday in the future, each one of them will have the pleasure of knowing what very real achievements those pieces of paper actually represent.

The University and the Department are proud to recognize their achievements.
