Criminal justice majors organize Lambda Alpha Epsilon chapter

Ten students were recently inducted into Zeta Alpha Chi, Tusculum College’s chapter of Lambda Alpha Epsilon.

Lambda Alpha Epsilon is a national professional and scholastic organization for those in the field of criminal justice. The organization began as a police fraternity in California in 1937 and has evolved over time into a national group that has thousands of members representing all facets of the American criminal justice system.

Criminal justice is one of the newest majors on campus, but has already had a handful of graduates from the program in the past two years.

Students in the major organized the Tusculum chapter, completing all the necessary paperwork and other requirements, with the guidance of Chris Ramey, assistant professor of criminal justice.

Elected officers were Lawson Burrow as president, Elizabeth Lynn as treasurer, Olivia Harrell as secretary Becca Rhea as vice president and Timothy Drumtra, sergeant at arms.
