FBI Honors Internship: Student Gains Transformative Experience

Katlyn Cousins.

Katlyn Cousins, a junior double majoring in Sociology and Criminology, completed the FBI Honors Internship Program during the summer of 2025. This prestigious opportunity provided Katlyn with hands-on experience that complements her Criminology degree.

Katlyn shared her thoughts on the experience:

"The FBI Honors Internship Program has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It challenged me to grow beyond the classroom, helped me discover strengths I didn’t know I had, and taught me the importance of responsibility, precision, and integrity in every task. I’m grateful for every moment that shaped my character, deepened my purpose, and guided me toward the public service career I am committed to pursuing."

If you are interested in pursuing an internship and are a Sociology or Criminology major, please contact Dr. Margaret Ralston, Internship & Research Experience Coordinator for the Department of Sociology.
