Key Experiences learning outside the classroom
Real-World Crime Scene Investigations Brought to Life in Midland University Classroom
As someone who learned quickly that real-world experiences were much different from those in the classroom, professor Catherine Link is working to ensure Midland University Criminal Justice majors are prepared for what they might encounter in their profession.
Students in Link’s Crime Scene Investigations class (CJU 215) are getting glimpses into a world that can be hard to comprehend if unprepared.
“My goal is to give students who are looking into a career in criminal justice, or forensics, a better understanding of what they are getting into,” Link said. “When I got my degree in forensic science, I had one idea of how it would be, and when I got into the real world, it was very different.”
“I want students to understand reality and know they are dealing with tough situations. I want to teach them how to handle a crime scene properly and when they are in that position, they will have this training and experience.”
Link spent more than seven years with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division. She then had a three-year career with the Nebraska State Patrol as a fingerprint and evidence technician.
In an ever-evolving profession, Link is confident that having this knowledge will help students in a variety of career paths, even those not involved in law enforcement.
