About

The Hamline University programs of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and Forensic Science are seeking $3,000 to help fund high-impact learning opportunities such as student attendance and/or presentations at conferences and professional events. Make your contribution today to help the next generation of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and Forensic Science students experience these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and take their Hamline experience to the next level.

Thanks to Forensic Science Program Director Megan Foley, the next 10 donors gift will be matched with $10 each!

Attending and presenting at professional events delivers transformative, real-world learning for Hamline students—building market-ready skills, lifelong memories, and critical professional networks. Your gift enables students to participate in premier local and national conferences—such as the American Society of Criminology, American Academy of Forensic Science, and International Symposium on Human Identification conferences—interact with leading guest experts on campus, and participate in off-site job shadowing with field practitioners.

The generosity of alumni, supporters, family, and friends makes opportunities like these possible for Hamline students. Make your gift today, and be a part of what makes the Hamline academic experience exceptional.

*Any dollars raised beyond our goal will go toward additional opportunities for Criminology and Criminal Justice, and Forensic Science students. If the student attendance and/or presentations at conferences and professional events are canceled for any reason, donations to this campaign will go toward additional opportunities for Criminology and Criminal Justice, and Forensic Science students in this and upcoming school years.
