Do you want to use your critical thinking skills to make an impact on safety, security, and justice? Investigative careers span a range of roles within public and private agencies, from legal advocacy to data-driven crime analysis and frontline public safety. They share a focus on gathering evidence, analyzing information, and solving cases to protect people and assets. But there are so many types of investigative careers across various jurisdictions, so where do you start? 

Join us for a special panel + connect night dedicated to helping YOU get career-ready for your future in investigative careers. Come to either or both events—Learn something new and meet employers and alumni you can add to your network! Both events are open to all majors and academic years. Snacks provided. Casual Dress. No RSVP is required. Bring your friends! ALL students are welcome to participate!
