A “mock lock up” on Thursday, March 15, raised more than $900 to help students from
Trine University’s Tau Alpha Omicron (TAO) chapter of the American Criminal Justice
Association (ACJA—Lambda Alpha Epsilon) attend the organization’s national conference
in Cleveland, Ohio.
Four Trine University students and staff were “arrested” by ACJA students on charges ranging from spicy burritos to smiling too much on Mondays. Each was held in the mock lock up over lunch in the Rick L. and Vicki L. James University Commons until they raised $200 in “bail money.”

It may sound like all fun and games, but two Trine University faculty members gave academic presentations during North America’s largest board gaming convention.
