Criminal Justice Major, Graduated May 2022
“Chris Eskridge (the Criminology internship coordinator) helped me get an internship with Gary Hill and CEGA Services. Through this, I was able to attend the United Nations Crime Congress on Criminology and Crime Prevention in Kyoto, Japan. This experience allowed me to learn more about diverse issues in the field and make connections with people all over the world. It also allowed me to integrate my education and real-world experiences.”
