Vincennes University’s Upsilon Chapter of Lambda Alpha Epsilon, The American Criminal Justice Association, is one of over 200 LAE chapters nationwide. Originally started in 1934, LAE is one of the first criminal justice associations in the country. LAE is a student led organization that any public service major is welcome to participate in. Members have the opportunity to speak with experts in the field and travel to professional locations around the state of Indiana.

In years past, LAE members have had speakers from departments ranging from local to federal level law enforcement agencies. They have traveled to locations such as the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility, the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, the Terre Haute Police Training Facility, and many more.

Students interested in participating in LAE can speak with any of our law enforcement faculty members and attend one of the weekly meetings to get involved. All of the Vincennes University faculty are members of LAE and serve as advisors.
