UWM has been awesome to
me, it's given me so many
opportunities that I never
thought I would have.
Getting that Master's degree
is what accelerated me into
a senior position.
- I think a Master's degree
at UWM really offers a lot
of versatility.
I'm a United States probation officer.
- I have an internship at
Sheboygan Police Department
in their MEG unit.
- Court services and community
alternatives administrator.
- Supervising United
States probation officer.
- Community supervision team
leader at Justice Point.
- Having attended courses in criminal
justice at UW-Milwaukee,
I really understood what
policing was all about.
I understood the foundation,
the core concepts.
And what my future career
was going to be made up of.
And that helped get me
to where I am today.
- It's a very hands on program.
- The professors that I worked
with are truly the best.
- Those relationships built
both for students and faculty
have been really valuable.
- Getting involved in the
internship program really helped
me develop a greater
understanding of what kind of
career I wanted following graduation.
- Without attending UW
Milwaukee I may not have become
a US probation officer, I
also would be lacking contacts
that have helped me grow as an individual.
I was able to take night
classes on a few occasions
that helped meet my needs
as a person who was still
working full time.
- I definitely don't think
I would've gotten to the
position that I've gotten
to today at Justice Point
without the program.
Students can really end
up finding work in many
different areas.
