Internship Testimonials

“I would highly recommend every student to partake in an internship.  It was the most rewarding experience of my undergraduate career, as I was able to see and understand how the Criminal Justice system works and affects each citizen.  I believe that everything I learned as an undergraduate student was enhanced during my internship: writing abilities; interpersonal communication skills; time management; and being able to deal with strict and unwavering deadlines.   Without this experience, I believe I would be much less prepared for a future in this field.“
-Sean Allen, Intern at the Federal Probation office in Marquette.

"I recommend that every student partake in a work-related internship. It gives the student an advantage over others for employment opportunities. Internships lead to job referrals and letters of references for future employment. They help set a valuable reputation for the student who did well and worked hard."
