With its commitment to developing Thomasians in intellect and character for nation-building, Colegio de Santo Tomas Recoletos College of Criminal Justice Education subjected the students under the BS in Criminology program to a Rank Inspection Ceremony last January 31, 2024 at the St. Ezekiel Moreno Covered Court.
Consisting of first and second year students, CCJE has a total strength of 320 and they were dressed in full uniform.
Dean Louie U. Callora, PhD, of the College of Criminal Justice Education, along with the faculty members who are licensed criminologists, graced the event while the officers of the Philippine Air Force-Reserved Officers Training Corps (PAF-ROTC) and Supreme Student Council (SSC) were the facilitators.
Both levels of BS in Criminology students showed unity, commitment and discipline as they smoothly executed the mass formation. They also exhibited precision and attention to detail during the accounting of rank segment. The future Thomasian criminologists also showcased physical skill and endurance as they performed training exercises and drills.
During the rank inspection proper, students demonstrated their physical readiness and mental alertness.
It was the first ever CCJE Rank Inspection. BS in Criminology program is now on its second year level.
