David Terry, college professor, is CDCR career advocate

Professor David Terry, Chair of the Delta College Corrections Department and a staunch CDCR supporter played a pivotal role in organizing these events.
“It’s fantastic to see CDCR actively engage with our students and showcase the diverse range of opportunities available within the department,” said Professor Terry. “These career fairs provide our students with invaluable insights into the exciting and rewarding careers they can pursue in public safety.”
At the PORU booth, peace officer recruiters from Sierra Conservation Center in Jamestown and the Correctional Training Center in Galt offered insights.
They discussed career paths, pay, benefits, minimum qualifications, and promotional opportunities within CDCR.
The recruiters engaged with students, answering questions and sharing their experiences.

By participating in these career fairs, CDCR reinforced its commitment to fostering the next generation of public safety professionals.
The department looks forward to continuing its partnership with San Joaquin Delta College and other institutions to inspire and recruit talented individuals to serve the state of California.
