Congratulations to all of our Summer 2020 College of Criminology & Criminal Justice Graduates! Please join us in celebrating the graduates, listed below, at Florida State University’s Virtual Graduation on Friday, July 31 at 7:30 p.m. (EDT).

The College of Criminology and Criminal Justice regrets to announce the passing of alumnus and 2016 Distinguished Alumni Award Recipient, Dr. Charles Rudolph “Mike” Swanson.

The College of Criminology and Criminal Justice is mournful over the unjust deaths of numerous members of the Black community by law enforcement. We know that these tragic events are not unique to law enforcement. Rather, they reflect systemic racism in our country. Communities of color in the United States have endured violence and disparate treatment by the criminal justice system far too long. Racism and the associated racialization of crime must end.

College of Criminology & Criminal Justice Assistant Professor Jillian Turanovic was recently honored by the University with an Undergraduate Teaching Award.
