This fall, two students at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) will have a rewarding opportunity to spend their last semester gaining an international perspective on law enforcement and criminal justice.
Law Enforcement Studies Diploma (LESD) students Connie Marginson and Jaymi Kuniss will be spending the rest of the year on a student exchange at the Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) in Ireland. Both students were recipients of the LESD International Exchange Scholarship supported by The Justice Institute of British Columbia Foundation (The JIBC Foundation) and the Irving K. Barber One World International Scholarship administered by the Victoria Foundation.
Since 2013, JIBC and WIT have partnered to provide student exchange opportunities for law enforcement and criminal justice students studying at both post-secondary institutions. The goal of the exchange is to broaden the intercultural experience for students and provide an opportunity for them to explore the international dimensions of justice and public safety.
JIBC has partnered with WIT because of its prominent Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice Studies and its robust exchange program.
Be sure to follow along with this blog, as Connie and Jaymi, update us on their adventures at WIT in Ireland.
