On Friday, retired U.S. Marshal William J. "Joe" Hawe, current executive director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission and a former adjunct professor at Saint Martin's, will deliver the lecture, "Managing the U.S. Marshal's Service in the 21st Century." Sound awesome? It's all part of the Robert A. Harvie Social Justice Lecture Series, which is now in its second year. This one should lead to some intriguing and worthy conversations.
