IUPâs department of criminology and criminal justice honored three alumni and invited them to speak about their successful careers to students.
It was a historic event for this department as three alumni were recognized with Distinguished Alumni Awards, receiving the highest honor given by IUP annually.
Of 150,000 alumni, only 369 have received the award before, which is less than 0.3 percent of alumni.
With more than 100 participants in attendance, the speakers discussed careers and gave advice for around 10 to 12 minutes, leaving questions from the attendees for the end.
As a 1986 IUP graduate, Retired U.S. Chief Deputy Marshal Michael Baughman spoke first.

He s hunted for Atlantis and tunnels from the Holocaust. Now, he ll be a CNU professor. By Matt Jones, Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)
Mired in mud in southern Spain are six stone anchors that possibly date to the Bronze Age.
According to Richard Freund, who led a team to explore the site for a National Geographic documentary, they could be from the lost city of Atlantis described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
Maybe. If we take the testimony of Plato seriously - not literally, but seriously - what we can say this is the closest thing to the reality of most of the elements that he mentions there, Freund said. Somebody may come up with a better one.

With Lee monument case tied up in court, people who transformed MDP Circle are asking: What s the fence really for?
RICHMOND â More than 50 homeowners who live near the Robert E. Lee statue on Monument Avenue said they want the statue taken down immediately in a proposed amicus brief filed for the two cases that will determine the statue s fate.
It s been more than 10 months since Gov. Ralph Northam ordered the statue s removal, but two lawsuits are vying to keep it up. A Richmond judge struck down both suits, but the plaintiffs appealed, and the Virginia Supreme Court agreed to hear their appeals, which could take place in June.Â
UVa among Virginia colleges with “woeful” Black & Hispanic student populations Photo: WINA
WASHINGTON (AP) – A new report from an educational reform group has found UVa is among Virginia’s public colleges where Black and Hispanic students are most woefully underrepresented. According to the April 12 report from Education Reform Now, Black and Hispanic persons make up 34% of Virginia’s college-age population, but only three of 15 four-year public colleges in Virginia enroll Black and Hispanic students at levels matching the population. And two of those, Norfolk State and Virginia State, are historically Black colleges. The third is Old Dominion University.
Black and Hispanic students are least represented at The University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, James Madison, VMI and Christopher Newport University. Those schools had combined Black and Hispanic enrollment between 10 and 13 percent.
