CONCORDIA TO HOST LOCAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE LEADERS
Moorhead, Minn.--The Lorentzsen Center for Faith and Work continues its exploration of the question “How do we build a more trustworthy world?” in the November Conversation: “Building a More Trustworthy Criminal Justice System: A Fargo-Moorhead Perspective” featuring a panel of area professionals who interact with criminal justice system from noon-1 p.m. CST Tuesday, Nov. 29. The event is a hybrid in-person (limited seating) and virtual conversation in Barry Auditorium in the Grant Center.
The panel includes: Lt. Bill Ahlfeldt, Fargo Police Department Specialized Services Unit commander; Matuor Alier, director of Equity and Inclusion, Moorhead Area Public Schools; Eric Johnson ’82, director of Alumni Relations at Concordia; JAG Corps, U.S. Navy; Brian Melton ’91, Clay County Attorney; and Judge Jade Rosenfeldt ’05, Seventh Judicial District, State of Minnesota.
In recent history, the American criminal justice system has been at the center of political and cultural controversies. Issues have emerged around everything from use of force policies and practices to the impact of incarceration among minority communities. Even though many of these issues have been part of our national discourse, they have real-world impacts in communities like Fargo-Moorhead. The panel will offer a local and regional perspective on the challenges they face along with proposals for how to make the criminal justice system more effective and trustworthy.
The event is free. You’re invited to bring your own lunch to the in-person event. Please register at ConcordiaCollege.edu/lorentzsen. Call 218.299.3305 for more information. A link will be sent after registration for those choosing the virtual option.
