It is with mixed emotions that the Criminal Justice Research Center announces the retirement of Debbie Flower-Smith effective June 2, 2017.  Debbie has been a mainstay around the CJRC for over a decade.  During this time, she has made numerous friends, meticulously organized and executed outstanding events and projects, welcomed new students, staff and affiliates and demonstrated extraordinary customer service of behalf of the CJRC.  Debbie was dedicated, loyal, and conscientious.

Over the past 10 years, she has played a key role in the organizing and delivery of the Summer Research Institute, the Reckless-Dinitz lectures and the Institute for Excellence in Justice Series as well as the monthly seminars.  Debbie’s contributions and accomplishments are numerous.  She was always ready to assist and worked tirelessly on behalf of the CJRC.

We will miss Debbie terribly at the CJRC but we also want to wish her the absolute very best in her retirement.  We are hopeful that she will enjoy a long, healthy and prosperous retirement.  Her footprint will forever remain with the CJRC.
