FSCJ to Host Community Conversation Series

WHAT:   Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) will host the first of a three-part Community Conversation Series in an effort to provide an open dialogue forum for the College’s internal and external community.

Following the success of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s (JSO) “Coffee with a Cop” program at FSCJ, the College aims to further assist in strengthening community relations with the introduction of this series.

The opening forum of the Community Conversation Series will explore the state of relations between Jacksonville’s community and the law enforcement officers that serve to protect it.

Students and community members will have the opportunity to pose questions and offer solutions on topics ranging anywhere from legal implications to psychological and sociological impacts.

A panel of FSCJ faculty members will provide interdisciplinary perspectives. Faculty members include:

• Director of Security Gordon Bass
• Professor of Psychology Dr. Penny Devine
• Professor of Criminal Justice Kimberly Hall
• Professor of Legal Studies Dr. Nick Martino
• Professor of Sociology Dr. JR Woodward

FSCJ faculty will be joined on the panel by Assistant Chief T.K. Waters with the Jacksonville’s Sheriff’s Office.

Students from the University of North Florida (UNF), Edward Waters College (EWC), Jacksonville University (JU) as well as regional community members are encouraged to attend.
