Finding the Way of the Warrior

ESU's Criminal Justice program has taught me so much about the criminal justice system and how to effectively work with and through it. I really admire the program - faculty, courses and internships collectively. ESU has built a bridge for me to achieve my dream of helping others as a law enforcement officer.
