Fall is here and classes back in session. It's a busy time for students and faculty,

But as much promise and excitement as the fall semester brings,

I'm Amy Slashberg, and I'm Megan Sachs, and we're the host of the podcast Campus Killings.

As educators and criminologists, we teach, research, write, and podcast about victims,

offenders, and the issues that surround our criminal justice system.

Amy and I have both worked in the field of criminal justice for 20 years.

Myself in law enforcement and Amy in the mental health field.

In Campus Killings, we'll dive into some of the most shocking and tragic murders to happen

podcasts. Subscribe now so you don't miss a single episode of Campus Killings.
