Minn. Sheriff's giving out scholarships
by Jim Maurice, WJON.com

UNDATED -- A scholarship program has been established for young men and women going to school to become a police officer.

The annual Minnesota Corrections Association Conference in Duluth, MN is October 29-31, 2008.   You can access detailed information at: www.mn-ca.org

 Almost every year, Bob Sutter out of Rasmussen College- Mankato has taken students to this annual professional conference for students to network and get more practical knowledge and information  in the corrections field. 

Rasmussen College has had two students win the scholarship to attend in the past.

This year the guest speaker is the author of the novel used in our Domestic Violence course, Dave Pelzer of A Child Called It.

This conference is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about corrections, increase their network of contacts for employment, and listen to acclaimed author that students have learned about in their course.
