third straight year the department will host Conklin and the City Rhythm Orchestra.
Raffle baskets that include Philadelphia sports memorabilia will be available prior

Associate Professor and Faculty Advisor in the Dept. of Criminal Justice Christopher Przemieniecki says, “We are thrilled to bring Joe Conklin back for a night of fun and laughter. These shows are a terrific success and often sell out so buy your tickets early. We are very grateful to Joe and the City Rhythm Orchestra and invite students, parents, alumni, and members of the community to join us for what we know will be a fantastic night that also supports a good cause.”
Joe Conklin has been a constant in Philadelphia radio for more than 30 years. Conklin is also one of the most sought-after comedians/entertainers in the area for his fearless, uncanny, and hilariously spot-on impressions of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Allen Iverson, and Charles Barkley, among others. A twelve-time AIR Award winner for Excellence in Broadcasting, his work has also been recognized by the Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards. Conklin has worked with some of the nation’s most recognized performers including Kevin Hart, Tim Allen, and Ray Romano.
The Criminal Justice Student Association is one of West Chester University’s largest student organizations. Each year, the membership raises money to fund travel expenses for students to attend the American Criminal Justice Association National Conference, the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington DC, and the Daytona 500 Motor Speedway Security team.
