President,
Jo Lynn Davis

My name is Jo Lynn Davis, President of the Criminal Justice Society. This is my second year as president and I am looking forward to working with the rest of the society members. I will graduate in May 2007 with an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice along with two certificates-- one in criminal justice and the other in corrections. I hope to be hired with the child support division of the Texas Attorney General’s Office where I did my internship and was hired for a full-time summer job project. In the near future, I plan to attend Lamar University to receive my bachelor's degree in criminal justice, eventually going into juvenile probation.

I would encourage anyone interested in a career in criminal justice to come to Lamar State College-Orange. The Criminal Justice Program here is excellent and Dr. Coratti, the director, is a wonderful instructor.

The society is dedicated to the development of leadership, funding of the scholarship and creating a fellowship for the current and future members. We always encourage all criminal justice students to come to our meetings and see the society first hand.
