Announcing the newly developed Criminal Justice Internship programin collaboration with The Limestone County Community Correction Center (LCCC). During Fall 2012, the first cohort group of students participated in the program. Ms. Monica Garcia and Ms. Joycelyn Triplett were assigned to assist the center in drug court and court referral programs. Each student completed internship hours along with other academic requirements, such as an oral presentation of their experience. The program worked so well that the CJ Department has decided to extend the program. During Spring 2013, two seniors; Garcia adn Triplett will conduct preliminary research on drug court, urinalysis, and court referrals as their senior research projects as part of the Intensive Internship option.

Mrs. Mildred Ploss worked as an intern with these agencies for her internship and senior project research during fall 2012.
