Experience the Life of a Criminologist

Introducing the Criminology Speaker Series.

Interested in hearing straight from criminologists about their day-to-day work? Wondering what it takes to make a career out of understanding the criminal mind? Join us for our Criminology Speaker Series, held on Tuesday evenings throughout the fall.

Throughout its long history, the Criminology Speaker Series has proven to be highly popular with Regis students, staff and the larger community. Series events are free and open to the public, however, please be aware that the content presented by our speakers is explicit and suitable for mature audiences only.
