ACJA Cedar Point

A group of students from Tau Alpha Omicron (TAO) chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association (ACJA—Lambda Alpha Epsilon) earned praise for their work at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, over the weekend of Sept. 27-29. Twelve students volunteered to work during the park’s Halloweekends to raise money for the organization to attend ACJA regional competitions in October. An associate at Cedar Point emailed, “They were by far the best group of volunteers I have worked with. People don't take the time for positive feedback often enough, and I just wanted to let you know that this group of students were exceptional!”
