CRCJ at UTA's very own Dr. Anne Wingert was recently featured in Heritage, the official magazine of Sam Houston State University!

Through her research, Wingert aims to uncover findings that will help service practitioners better support individuals affected by early-life trauma.

Congratulations to Dr. Wingert, and Mav Up!

CRCJ will be hosting CRCJ Week — a series of speakers coming to campus to talk with students during class and around lunch time — starting on September 28th. The week will culminate in a special, all-day event: Wrongful Conviction Day on Friday, October 2nd.

Attached is the flyer for Wrongful Conviction Day, which we expect a big external audience to attend. The event is free, and we’re looking to get the word out!

Here’s the link to when UNT hosted this event last year:
