Majors: Criminology and Criminal Justice<\/a> and Sociology<\/a><\/em>
\nHometown: Burrillville, RI<\/em><\/p>\n

Q. What makes the College of Arts and Sciences at URI unique?<\/strong>
\nA. The College of Arts Sciences at URI is unique in a broad sense because of all the different and special classes a student can take. Especially in the Sociology<\/a> department, a student can grasp what makes society work and the social, economic, and political actions shaping everyday people.<\/p>\n

What accomplishments and\/or activities at URI are you most proud of now?
\n<\/strong>Besides graduating with two degrees from the College of Arts and Sciences, I am also proud to gain my U.S. Army commission. I’m proud of my time at ROTC and also the citizen’s police academy on campus.<\/p>\n

What research projects, internships, experiential learning, and\/or study abroad programs did you participate in at URI? 
\n<\/strong>I was able to help Dr. Megan Perry<\/a> with her research into how parents of autistic children perceive the police, as well as be a part of a team led by Dr. Judy Van Wyk<\/a> that goes into the juvenile justice world, exploring all the angles and spending time at places such as Ocean Tides<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do you value about your liberal arts education?<\/strong>
\nI value the freedom a liberal arts education gives to its students. In other words, the ability to explore all career fields and have the knowledge to impact.<\/p>\n

What have been some highlights of your time in the Sociology and CCJ departments? <\/strong>
\nSome highlights include my time at Ocean Tides with Dr. Van Wyk. In the time I’ve spent in all my Sociology classes, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of society and learned more about myself. I came to the double major at the recommendation of my advisor, who put it simply, it’s just a few extra classes for the double major. Combining that with my love for both disciplines was an easy choice and very approachable at the university.<\/p>\n

What’s next for you?<\/strong>
\nAfter completing my time at the university, I am also leaving my national guard unit to switch over to active duty. So, I will be in Missouri at Fort Leonard Wood for some training.<\/p>\n

Anything else you’d like to share?
\n<\/strong>Just that I will miss the university, the people, and the environment as a whole, this place showed me who I am, and I look forward to who I will become.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
