Clarksville, Tenn. — Bethel University’s College of Professional Studies will recognize the sacrifices of law-enforcement professionals during its “Bethel Backs Blue Week” at satellite campuses throughout Tennessee March 28 – April 1.
In addition to week long law enforcement support activities by CPS employees, the school will host “Burgers for Badges” on Friday, April 1, at the Clarksville satellite campus of Bethel University.
Law-enforcement professionals are invited to stop by the campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to enjoy free hamburgers, chips, and a drink during the special outdoor event. Information will also be available on the degree programs offered by Bethel University’s College of Professional Studies, to include its criminal-justice associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. Bethel was recently named the top school in Tennessee for its support of careers in criminal justice and corrections by CorrectionalOfficer.org.
Kelly Sanders-Kelley, Vice President of the College of Professional Studies, stated that “Bethel Backs Blue Week” is a way to thank law-enforcement providers for all they do. “At Bethel, we understand that a job in criminal justice is far from 9 to 5:00,” she said. “Those in the profession put their lives on the line every day, and our communities are better because of it. The week’s events are our way of recognizing their daily sacrifices, while showing our sincere appreciation for their efforts.”
The local campus is located at 2200A Wilma Rudolph Blvd. For more information about “Burgers for Badges,” contact Randall Ricketts at (731) 358.1911 or rickettsr@bethelu.edu.
