Students are encouraged to become involved with Point Park’s Innocence Institute, which investigates claims of wrongful convictions, raises awareness of the frailties associated with the criminal justice system, acts as a recourse to those working to reverse injustice, and provides educational training in investigating reporting to college students and professionals. The Innocence Institute is one of the more than 30 innocence projects in the nation, but one of the few journalism-only projects in the United States. Students can volunteer and take courses connected with the institute as they become juniors and seniors.
