Days 3 and 4 of the CJLC D.C. trip have been nothing short of incredible!

We kicked off Day 3 with a visit to Quantico, where students had the opportunity to tour the FBI Training Facility before enjoying some free time to explore the city. Day 4 was packed with exciting experiences, including visits to the National Law Enforcement Museum and the International Spy Museum, followed by a group lunch at Hard Rock Cafe.

We’ve made so many great memories together and are excited to enjoy our final moments in D.C. tomorrow before heading back home! Go Falcons!

Surprise, surprise, the Criminal Justice Learning Community is on another trip! Yesterday, 33 members of the Learning Community traveled to Washington, D.C. to explore and learn more about our nation’s capital.

In just the last day and a half, the group has had the opportunity to participate in a Monuments by Moonlight tour, visit and tour the United States Capitol, including the Senate Gallery, tour the The Pentagon, and spend time exploring the city together.

We are looking forward to three more days of amazing adventures, learning opportunities, and memories. Go Falcons!
