Fisher College Criminal Justice Club

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. What began as local celebrations grew into a national day of reflection, honoring resilience, liberation, and the ongoing pursuit of justice.

As a Criminal Justice program, we recognize the importance of understanding this history and its impact on the systems we study and work within. Today, we honor the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black Americans, and we reaffirm our commitment to educating future CJ professionals who value fairness, integrity, and community‑centered service.

To our students, alumni, and partners: thank you for continuing the work of building a more just and equitable future — on campus, in the field, and in every community you serve.

Today, the Fisher College Criminal Justice Program pauses to honor Memorial Day — a day dedicated to remembering the service members who gave their lives in defense of the United States.

Memorial Day began after the Civil War as Decoration Day, when communities placed flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. It has since become a national moment of reflection for all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

For those studying criminal justice, the connection to military service is deeply felt. Many of the values we teach — duty, integrity, service, and commitment to community — are rooted in the same principles upheld by the men and women who served.

We honor:

those who never returned home
the families who carry their legacy
and the generations who protected the freedoms we study, defend, and work to uphold

Today, on Peace Officers Memorial Day, the Fisher College Criminal Justice Program joins communities across the nation in honoring the officers who gave their lives in the line of duty.

We especially recognize Massachusetts State Police Trooper Kevin Trainor, who was tragically killed last week when a wrong‑way driver struck his cruiser on Route 1 in Lynnfield as he responded to a call. Trooper Trainor was also a colleague of several Fisher College CJ graduates, and his loss has been felt deeply throughout the Commonwealth and within our extended professional community.

His dedication, professionalism, and final act of service reflect the values we teach and uphold within our program.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
