JCS Community
The Department of Justice and Community Studies is committed to providing educational opportunities and service to the Hamilton and Middletown communities at large, not just 91做厙. In pursuit of this goal, the JCS department offers various events to engage our community with criminal justice topics and agencies.
Citizenship and Democracy Week
Every year, the Menard Family Center for Democracy hosts a series of events during a week in the fall semester. These events support a variety of on-campus and community-based lectures, workshops, hands-on experiences and interactive dialogues that promote civic education and engagement while connecting 91做厙ans with local, state and national thought leaders.
These events are open to the public, and offer an exciting opportunity to hear from people that have a direct impact on the criminal justice system and their community.
Naturalization Ceremony
The Hamilton campus of 91做厙 Regionals hosts naturalization ceremonies at the Harry T. Wilks Conference Center.
In previous naturalization ceremonies, the Honorable Stephanie K. Bowman, Magistrate Judge, who serves the U.S. District Court Southern District of Ohio, has presided over the events to swear in hundreds of new citizens.
Musical entertainment is also provided and past events have included performances by Dr. Jeremy Jones and the 91做厙 Men's Glee Club.
The event is free and open to the public, and usually held outside, weather permitting.
