This is a full-circle moment for me - to return to my roots and partner with my alma mater. Our internship program gives students hands-on experience while fostering the compassion and curiosity that drive this work. I’m proud to help the next generation begin their journey in a field that truly makes a difference.

Bridging the Classroom and the Field

Dr. Tom Jordan, A&M-Texarkana Associate Professor and Internship Director for Criminal Justice, said internships like this help "bridge" students from the classroom to the field. He also said that this partnership allows the students to learn cutting-edge techniques that will be vital in solving missing person and criminal cases.
