Opportunities for Giving Back
The Center for Law, Society and Justice depends on the support of alumni and friends to enhance our programs. Contributions of both time and funds are important ways to help us provide our students with a high quality education and build community partnerships.
Serve as a Mentor
Our mentorship program matches current undergraduates in the Legal Studies Program and the Criminal Justice Certificate Program with alumni and community partners who provide career guidance and networking opportunities. The time commitment is flexible. If you are interested in serving as a mentor for one of our undergraduates, please contact Martine Delannay at clsj@ssc.wisc.edu.
You can find more details on our Mentoring Page.
Help us Partner with Your Agency
Internships provide students with a valuable out-of-classroom learning experience. Each summer approximately 60 undergraduates in the Criminal Justice Certificate Program participate in 300 hour/10 week summer internships in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. If you are interested in helping us partner with your agency or organization, please contact Carolyn Lesch at cjcp@ssc.wisc.edu.
Become a Financial Supporter
Your gifts will allow us to provide scholarships and support for students who participate in summer internships and independent research, host an annual reception for graduates, undergraduates, alumni, and faculty, expand our mentorship program, and enhance program offerings. All gifts, large and small, are greatly appreciated.
The Audrey J. Harris Summer Internship Award
The Audrey J. Harris Summer Internship Award is awarded to several students each year to support their completion of the intensive 300 hour criminal justice internship. Center faculty and staff nominate students based on academic performance, potential for significant contribution to the field, and leadership. Students receive notification of their award in May and are featured in the Center's newsletter.
