As the local chapter of ACJA-LAE at the University of Central Missouri, Gamma Epsilon Delta (GED), is committed to furthering the national objectives through its actions and events. Our chapter looks to add these objectives as well as provide students the opportunity to be a part of a student organization that benefits both their professional and personal life. By becoming a member of our local chapter a member can expect to enjoy these benefits: numerous contacts in the field, guidance from experienced faculty and students, the opportunity to represent a highly ranked criminal justice program and improve the reputation of that department, acquiring first hand experience through conferences and competitions and improve academic learning through the hands on experience, and gain friendships with other students with similar interests,
