As Florida State University gears up for Parent’s Weekend on October 4, 2013, the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice is excited to announce that its new home on campus, Eppes Hall, will be open to its students and their parents on Friday, October 4 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Light refreshments and staff will be on-site to provide tours of the new home of the College, Eppes Hall. The College encourages all students to bring their families to Eppes Hall to enjoy our new amenities and get a first-hand look at how the field of criminology is advancing.

On September 11, 2013, nearly 120 runners participated in the College of Criminology & Criminal Justice’s inaugural Blue Light Memorial 5k and candlelight vigil. The race served as a fundraiser for a permanent fallen officer memorial at the College on Florida State University’s campus and brought in more than $7,500. As participants ran through FSU’s campus they were cheered on by volunteers from the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy and Lambda Alpha Epsilon, a professional criminal justice fraternity.

The College of Criminology & Criminal Justice at Florida State University has officially moved into Historic Eppes Hall. Constructed in 1918, Eppes Hall was originally known as the Education Building and was the first building on campus devoted entirely to classroom use at the Florida State College for Women. As the College evolved into a major research university, and as academic units outgrew Eppes Hall, the building became home to a number of small programs looking for office and classroom space of their own.
