Student Comments

"I was able to gain first hand knowledge of the process of the criminal justice system and feel much more prepared for life in the working world."

"One afternoon the chief assistant of the bureau spoke to me in his office. He was very impressed with my work ethic, basic knowledge of fingerprints and computer skills. He expressed to me that my work in the office, even though I am only an intern, is greatly valued and appreciated. When all is said and done, this position was awesome."

"I quickly recognized my coursework at Roger Williams served me well for assimilating material and instruction in the office. Guardianship work involves the gamut of legal processes. Much of my coursework could be applied."
