Criminal Law
Client Advisor at Stevens Ford Lincoln in Milford, CT
With the Upside-Down Curriculum, you’re jumping into your major-related classes right away. In my first year, I also went on a ride-along with a Vermont State Police officer. It was amazing to see another side of law enforcement—the human side you don’t often see through the media.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned about criminal justice is human interaction. You can read about being in a squad car and pulling people over, but it’s the area between the actual law and the connection to that person that matters. Champlain professors have real experience, and they can help you understand what being in that moment is like in a way a textbook can’t.
We get to know people in the division through the EHS Signature Courses, which allow students from across majors to engage in topics. This semester, we’re talking about human trafficking. We get a psychology perspective, for example, in addition to criminal justice. It’s very interesting because you get contradicting opinions, and it broadens your view on global subjects.
Becoming SGA President my junior year is a great point of pride for me. The work we did and the tasks we undertook were truly a passion of mine. For example, we executed a project—the Rainbow Crosswalk—where we painted the crosswalk on South Willard Street the colors of the rainbow in honor of our LGBTQA+ community. The work we do truly can make a difference on campus.
I came here as someone who didn't really like to reach out to a lot of people. Within a month at Champlain, I was representing the student body as a first-year Senator in the Student Government Association.
