Justice Was Served... at the Criminal Justice & Government Services Fair The Oregon Room was bustling with WOU students and high school students who came to talk to the 18 different employers who were on campus for the March 2nd Criminal Justice and Government Services Career Fair. Employers who were hiring for full-time and internship positions included the Marion County District Attorney’s Of-
fice, the Salem-Keizer Education Foundation, The Benton County Sherriff’s Office, the FBI, Oregon State Police, and the US Marine Corps, just to name a few! This was a great opportunity for students to talk with the recruiters, learn about job opportunities, and get a look into some career paths! Thank you to Admissions and the Criminal Justice Department for helping SLCD with this amazing event!
